Jon Rahm can say it louder, but not clearer. He wants to play in Spain as much as he can in 2024. In fact, his idea is to do something never seen in his career: compete in three tournaments in our country in one year. As we have been telling you on Ten Golf, the golfer from Barrika confirmed today at Valderrama, on the eve of the LIV Golf tournament that starts on Friday, that his intention is also to play the Open of Spain at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid and the Estrella Damm Andalucía Masters at the Real Club de Golf Sotogrande. Very good news for golf fans in Spain.
However, this news, undoubtedly very positive, has its nuances and it is advisable to make them clear. As the Spanish saying goes, man proposes and God disposes. This Rahm plan is in the hands of his wife, Kelly Cahill, and his future daughter, who is in full gestation. Specifically, it depends on when the birth of their third child occurs. “My plan is to play all three, but we’ll see if it’s possible. The birth is scheduled more or less for the date of the Open of Spain, so maybe I can play in Madrid and Sotogrande, only in one of the two or in none. We’ll see,” he assures.
Kelly is not in Sotogrande this week because doctors have recommended rest. Just as the pregnancies of Kepa and Eneko went smoothly, this third one is being a bit complicated. She has been diagnosed as a high-risk pregnancy and she hardly leaves her house since the US Open. Obviously, this situation worries Rahm, although the situation is absolutely under control at this time, and more than ever he wants to be with her in the moments before the birth and during it.
If the timings match and the girl is born before the Open of Spain, we will see Rahm in Madrid and Sotogrande. It is his wish and his intention, beyond the negotiations he is carrying out with the European circuit for the issue of fines for playing in LIV. Jon has left the matter in the hands of his agents. Everything points to an agreement being reached with the DP World Tour, but for now there is no white smoke.
