After a poor show in Valderrama, Rahm finally took some time off. “This is the first time in my life that I don’t want to see a golf club,” he confessed. “And this comes from someone who loves this sport, and after a year in which some pretty good things have happened to me… More than my body, it is my mind that can’t take it. If we add it all up, I need to rest.”

Recently, a Spanish local newspaper reported that Rahm will elongate his rest period. Hence, he will miss the DP World Tour Championship, the climax of the European Tour. The 2-time tournament winner and third name on the race to Dubai rankings will remain on the sidelines, giving way to Collin Morikawa and Billy Horschel to fight for the title.

Well, it’s great to see him not give in to the pressure, despite being world number 1, and prioritize his mental and physical health. Although he will be greatly missed, it’s more important that he comes back next year, refreshed and ready to put up another great show.
