In the two years since the Saudi-backed LIV Golf started, the league has been able to bring along some of PGA’s biggest stars with jaw-dropping contracts. And Jon Rahm’s $550 million deal with LIV was among the biggest losses for the PGA Tour.
But it doesn’t seem like any amount of money can calm some of Rahm’s frustrations with the LIV Golf playing environment.
At the sixth hole of Sunday’s LIV Golf Nashville, Rahm sent his tee shot way left and started looking at the sky out of frustration. Rahm was upset with the drones flying overhead, and we heard exactly what he thought about them. (Warning: Strong language)
Jon Rahm was quite upset with the drones at LIV Golf Nashville, which seemingly distracted him and played a part in his tee shot going into the water.

“Every tournament. It’s (expletive) incredible. Right on my backswing. These (expletive) drones every time.”
LIV Golf utilizes drones throughout its events for shot tracing and overhead camera views. But drones are also loud, and Rahm clearly doesn’t enjoy hearing incessant buzzing during his swing. At the same time, it’s surprising that the golfer who has appeared in eight WM Phoenix Opens suddenly can’t handle drone noise.
Still, Rahm had to know what he signed up for. Golf fans also had thoughts on the mid-round outburst.
Hot take: golfers are the biggest cry babies. Think about all the other sports where players have to perform at the highest of levels while drunk people hurl slurs at them. If you can’t tune out a drone then you’re mentally weak. https://t.co/jiM1ihWgVb
Man who plays in exhibition league and gets paid from Saudi $$ gets mad when his score, like Whose Line Is It Anyway, doesn't even matter. https://t.co/xVt3qTxT9I
This is unfair from Jon. Someone needs to take pics to turn into NFTs to pay this salary. This NFT, for example, will be worth dozens. https://t.co/pNYMBVauhx

I hope the money was worth it for Rahm. He’s one of the five best golfers in the world and now he’s utterly miserable, playing golf at crappy venues with zero spectators. https://t.co/SQ6eP1Hz3k
