Jon Rahm has emotional moment with wife after $1.5 million PGA Championship meltdown
Jon Rahm shared a heartfelt moment with his wife on Sunday following a crushing conclusion to the final round of the 2025 PGA Championship, where a bogey and two double bogeys on the final three holes at Quail Hollow ended his hopes of winning a third major and taking home a seven-figure prize.In footage shared on CBS’ social media channels, the LIV Golf star — who has not won a major since defecting to the Saudi-backed league in late 2023 — can be seen walking up to wife Kelley, who opened her arms to embrace him as he rested his head on her shoulder after shooting a 2-over 73 in the fourth round for 4-under total.It was a heartbreaking finale for Rahm, 30, who had caught up to eventual victor Scottie Scheffler midway through the fourth round, thanks to a trio of birdies on holes No.8, 10 and 11 that tied him at 9-under.However, the Spaniard missed birdie chances on 14 and 15 before succumbing to the famous Green Mile finish at the North Carolina course.The fall from second to a tie for eighth saw Rahm lose out on the $2 million runner’s up prize and instead finished tied for eighth, netting $454,781.“The last three holes … it’s a tough pill to swallow right now,’’ Rahm said.
