Quick Summary

At the BMW PGA Championship in Virginia Water, England, Jon Rahm struggled and missed the cut after shooting a combined score of 78-77 over two days, putting him last out of 140 players who completed their first 36 holes. His performance was particularly poor compared to his usual standard, with Thursday's round being his worst in a non-major since 2021. Rahm is noted for never finishing last in nearly 100 events on the European tour until now, and he remains linked to LIV Golf despite its recent financial troubles.

Story summary

Jon Rahm, a two-time major champion and one of the biggest stars in LIV Golf, missed the cut at the BMW PGA Championship after shooting a combined 155 (78-77) over his first two rounds, putting him last among 140 players who completed their initial 36 holes. This marks Rahm's worst performance in a non-major event since a 2021 Andalucia Masters round where he also scored a 78. On Friday, Rahm’s poor start included hitting his first shot into a bunker and making five bogeys along with a double-bogey, resulting in a score of 77. With the leaders at 10 under par, Rahm was 21 shots behind, and it is noteworthy that this is the first time he has finished last in nearly 100 events on the European tour. LIV Golf, which recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with over $500 million in debt, includes Rahm among its top creditors.
