Jon Rahm LOSES IT as LIV Golf star hits out at ‘f****ng drones’
Jon Rahm let it be known that he is not a fan of drones flying over his head during LIV Golf tournament broadcasts.
The Spaniard sounded off on the distraction from the drones after a terrible shot during Sunday’s round in Nashville.
After his tee shot on the sixth hole went into the water, Rahm blamed his mishap on the buzzing of the broadcast drone hovering above him.
‘Every tournament,’ the broadcast picked up Rahm exclaiming. ‘It’s f****** incredible. Right on my backswing.’
‘These f****** drones every time,’ he continued.

To add salt to the wound, Rahm was within two strokes of the leader when he sent his ball diving into the water on the par 4 hole.
He then made a double-bogey – his worst score on that hole for competitors who completed that sixth hole at The Grove. Furthermore, the error put Rahm four shots behind leader Tyrrell Hatton.
Rahm followed the ever-growing LIV Golf route from the PGA Tour in December. The Nashville tournament was his first since withdrawing from the US Open with a foot infection.
The two-time Major winner found some improvement on the next hole when he birdied to pull within three of Hatton.
Like Rahm, the Englishman also had a slight outburst during the event in Music City. Hatton’s moment came when he fell short on the putt after having the chance to birdie on the eighth hole.
While Rahm found issues with the drones, Hatton was battling with the forces of nature as he cursed at the wind, per NBC Sports.
‘F*** you, wind!’ Hatton exclaimed. ‘Two in a row just absolutely f***** me!’
