Unbelievable news. Just hours after learning Bryson DeChambeau will no longer be representing Team USA in Tokyo, Spain is now down not only their best player, but the No. 1 golfer in the world. 

As every golf fan knows, Jon Rahm finished up his final round at the Memorial a few months ago with a size-able lead going into Sunday. After putting out, Rahm exited the green only to be met by officials who told him he was COVID-19 positive and had to WD. He would recover, and win the US Open just weeks later. 

Now with a chance to win a gold medal for his country, he tests positive again for the virus. Jon did mention he received the first dose of the vaccine during Memorial week, we are unsure however if he received the second. 

We wish Rahm a quick recovery, and hope he’s back out there soon.

I grew up in southern New Hampshire, where I first fell in love with the game of golf. I started by just going out and messing around with my buddies and focusing purely on having a good time! I never took golf seriously until I moved down to Tampa, FL to attend the University of South Florida. Go Bulls! At the start of my junior year I got a job working as a cart boy at a local private country club. This is when I started to focus on golf becoming my career. During the fall of my senior year, I turned from a 14 handicap, to a 2. I passed the PAT scoring test my first try and haven't looked back.
