00:00As you mentioned, John Rahm wins his first individual event since 2024 at Live Chicago and Hong Kong this week,
00:06won the individual championship last year on Live without winning an event, which that was maybe the third most significant
00:14news story he was involved in this week because he also got eight Live golfers out of Dubai on a
00:20private jet he paid for to escape a sort of a war-torn situation involving a retaliatory tax, Maran.
00:28John, just a whole mess there where, you know, he did a really good thing, a really humanitarian thing for
00:34his fellow competitors to get him out of there.
00:36So wild, wild week for John Rahm.
00:38I know.
00:38I need to call John the next time I'm stuck after missing a flight in Atlanta.
00:43A little bit of a different scenario.
00:45A little bit of a different scenario there.
00:47But, yeah, I mean, it's obviously, you know, tragedy was happening in the Middle East there, and you obviously, you
00:53like, but I thought it was pretty cool what he said where he's like, the way I see it is
00:57simply it's my duty.
00:58I was raised with certain values.
00:59You have the ability and the capability of helping somebody, especially in a scenario like that, where my main focus
01:04was essentially was getting them out of there and not necessarily playing a tournament.
01:07Like, I think, you know, it is interesting.
01:10It's like we're talking about the money he received from Live and, you know, what that enables you to do.
01:15And you have to attach that to, well, if you're not willing to pay the DP World Tour Fives and
01:20you're at your hard line there, at least you're using it to kind of help guys out in moments of
01:24need.
01:24So, not all bad for Jon Rahm this week.
01:28Yeah.
01:30Very, very nice.
01:32Man, he's been playing great.
01:35Like, he's been – I was impressed with him when I got to watch him last year at the Majors.
01:39He was hitting it so far.
01:41I mean, he's been just in a top three or four town in the game for, gosh, a decade pretty
01:49much.
01:50So, anything with his golf doesn't surprise me.
01:53And whether he wins a major or not this year doesn't change my opinion of how good this guy is
01:59at golf.
02:00But, all with all that being said, he is another guy that has won at Augusta before.
02:07The pressure of not winning at Augusta isn't on his back to get a green jacket.
02:12He's another player we just got to keep monitoring.
02:15Keep our eyes peeled.
02:18Yeah, well, I mean, and he said after this win, you know, of – it felt like relief.
02:23This guy's gone on, you know, a number of years now without winning a tournament.
02:26And so, I think that this is a guy that feels freed up and that's going to be dangerous come
02:30major season.
