Jon Rahm and his caddie vent to fans after hearing shouts during backswing: 'Idiots!'


LIV Golf star Jon Rahm and his caddie, Adam Hayes, had some frustrating words with fans during his first career win on the Saudi-backed tour.

On Saturday, Rahm was lining up a chip shot from the 16th green at JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, England, when a fan in the distance was heard shouting something over the broadcast.

Rahm could be heard saying, “Hey man,” and slapping himself on the leg in the process.

Rahm's frustration increased even more when a fan was again heard yelling something at him and this time he raised his arms in the air.

That prompted Hayes to start yelling back. And while it wasn't fully audible, the caddie could clearly be heard saying, “Yelling on our fucking backswing, you moron,” according to Awful Announcing.

“We've all thought about it,” the LIV Golf announcer said after Hayes' comments were picked up on the microphone.

Rahm would go on to record a final round of 4-under to beat Joaquin Niemann by one stroke, and his 13-under total for the weekend earned him his first individual victory at LIV Golf.

Rahm's Legion XIII team, which includes Tyrell Hatton, Kieran Vincent and Caleb Surratt, won the event by three strokes (26-under), while Ripper GC (23-under) and Crushers GC (20-under) finished second and third, respectively.

This is not the first time Rahm has had to deal with frustrations caused by outside factors during a LIV Golf event in its inaugural season.

Drone use became an issue and once again the LIV Golf broadcast captured their frustrations in real time.

“Every tournament is fucking amazing,” Rahm was heard saying on the broadcast after sinking his drive into a water hazard during LIV Golf Nashville in June. “Right on my backswing, these damn drones every time.”

LIV Golf offers a modern alternative to the traditional PGA Tour, and its appeal to a different demographic has been the music and cheers at certain holes throughout the year, among other factors.

However, no golfer wants to hear anything during his backswing unless he knows in advance that he will receive applause.

Rahm wasn't happy at the time, but in the end, he overcame that bogey in Saturday's 1-under round to earn the win.
