“I had no money. I was living on a couple hundred bucks a month at most, so I had a budget,” Rahm said.

He mentioned a place called ‘Zenejas’, which they frequented because of the food and margaritas–and also because it was not expensive. “But we have some disagreement about this—we don’t know if that was our first official date, or if it was at a football game”.

With career earnings crossing $30 million, Rahm has come a long way as a professional golfer. He has won six PGA Tour events, which includes his 2021 US Open win. Cahill has always been at his side, even supporting him by attending games.
