Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.

Amid the hustle and bustle right before the 2024 US Masters, reigning champion Jon Rahm remains grounded by his growing family. The social media post announcing the pregnancy was met with enthusiasm from fans and peers alike. In the accompanying photo, Rahm and Kelley are seen with their two children, Kepa and Eneko, sharing the ultrasound image of their soon-to-be addition.

Jon Rahm and wife Kelley expecting their third child

While specific details such as the baby’s gender and due date were not disclosed, the Rahm family’s excitement is palpable. Rahm’s playful comment about “officially moving to zone defense” adds a lighthearted touch to the announcement.

The golf community joins the superstar and his wife in celebrating their family happiness. For example, Layna Finau, wife of Tony Finau and mother of several children herself, commented under the post and congratulated the parents-to-be. Rahm’s compatriot Sergio Garcia also offered his congratulations, as did other LIV colleagues.

A college lovestory

Jon Rahm’s journey to golfing stardom is well-documented, but behind every successful man is often an equally remarkable woman. In Rahm’s case, that woman is his wife, Kelley Cahill. Their love story traces back to their college days at Arizona State University, where they began dating. Their relationship reached new heights when Rahm proposed to Cahill in June 2018, just before competing in the U.S. Open. The heartfelt proposal, complete with a ring designed by Rahm himself, set the stage for their fairy-tale wedding in Rahm’s hometown of Bilbao, Spain, in December 2019. Since tying the knot, Rahm and Cahill have welcomed two sons, Kepa and Eneko, into their family. Now the couple awaits a new addition to their family.
