The arrival of Jon Rahm on the stage of the professional golf course was marked by his victory at the Open Farmers Insurance 2017 in Torrey Pines, a victory which did it for the first time in the top 50 of the official world classification of the Golf .
More than 8 years later, with 52 weeks spent as a golfer No. 1 in the world, his time in the top 50 is over.
On Monday, Rahm fell from the top 50 in the world ranking for the first time since his first PGA Tour victory.
Since his defection at Liv Golf, Rahm has won OWGR points in any of these events. He played brilliantly in LIV events, never placing himself worse than the T-10. However, in the events he accumulates OWGR points, he did not play his expectations.
Last year, Rahm missed the cup at the Masters and PGA championship before retiring from the US Open with a foot injury. He placed T-7 at the open championship, T-5 at the Olympic Games and has three TOP-10 on the DP World Tour in time, including a finalist at the Spanish Open.
It has been almost a year since Liv Golf has removed its OWGR application, and the league has not shown signs that it will apply anytime soon.
Data Golf classifies golf golf players in its world ranking, where Rahm is fourth. However, there are only five golf golf players in the top 50 of the data golf course. In OWGR, Tyrrell Hatton (n ° 8) and Bryson Dechambeau (n ° 13) are the only players in the top 50.
But with regard to OWGR, except for a victory in a major event or DP World Tour, the Rahm slide should continue.
