Jon Rahm saved his LIV Golf peers a lot of stress and discomfort by flying them out of Dubai on a private flight. And they were quite grateful for the Spanish veteran’s gesture. Thomas Detry expressed how thankful he was already in a couple of statements he has made since. Even Anthony Kim showed his gratitude towards the Legion XIII captain. But he also acknowledged Dustin Johnson for keeping his promise.

As per Flushing It‘s tweet, Kim stated, “DJ said he was going to get us a private plane soon (smiling).”

The terms for purchasing the plane were simple; Johnson had asked his team to give it their all. If the 4Aces GC had won as a team in LIV Golf Hong Kong, then the two-time major champion would buy his team a private plane of their own. Kim hasn’t revealed the specifications of their team’s personal plane. However, Johnson’s gesture will guarantee his teammates never face the issue that occurred in Dubai a few days ago.

Detry and Thomas Pieters were the biggest contributors in helping their team win. They were placed one stroke apart in second and third on the leaderboard, respectively, after the conclusion of the Hong Kong event. A stroke separated Johnson and Kim as well. They finished T24 and T30, respectively.

The Belgian pro had already stated that he would find a way to pay Rahm back for his gesture. Now that the 4Aces GC has a private plane of its own, the Spanish veteran won’t have to contact VistaJet to arrange a charter flight in case a similar situation arises in the future. He can count on his fellow European peer to fly him out of Dubai for LIV Golf events.

This isn’t even the first time Johnson’s positive nature has come to light. He gave Kim a glimpse of that after the latter’s win in Riyadh.

Anthony Kim already knew of Dustin Johnson’s genuine nature before Hong Kong

Anthony Kim’s victory over Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm in Adelaide surprised everyone. His incredible comeback in the final round proved to be clinical in turning things around for him. However, Dustin Johnson & Co. were ready to celebrate his achievement no matter where he finished. And they ensured that they didn’t trigger the 40-year-old while doing so.

After Kim made his putt on the 18th hole, they rushed onto the course with a bottle of a mystery beverage. They sprayed it on him and bounced around in joy to celebrate his victory. As a recovered alcoholic, Kim was cautious about the contents of the bottle. However, Johnson clarified that he had nothing to worry about.

In the video shared on social media, Johnson was clearly heard telling Kim, “We made sure it was water.”

Turns out, the 4Aces GC were just spraying sparkling water on their teammate. But Johnson’s attention to the needs of his teammates shows how good of a captain he really is.
