You read that right – Jon Rahm was asked to sign a child’s clubbed foot by his parents during the 2022 CJ Cup. The golfer himself was born with the same deformity and therefore is an inspiration to thousands going through the same. When the couple asked him to sign their kid’s clubbed foot, Rahm didn’t take a second and said“Oh, where?” with a pen in his hand.

While signing the foot of the four-month-old baby, Rahm asked the parents if he had both his feet in the same condition. He even motivated them to believe that the kid would turn out to be just fine. After all, there was no better person to say that than the golfer himself. Rahm became a professional golfer despite his clubbed foot, and the couple found him inspiring for their kid. The child’s mother said, ”It’s nice to be able to know that like these professional athletes are born with that and that you can look up to them and it doesn’t stop you from being who you are”. The father also loved how Rahm told them that their kid would grow up to be normal and will be able to do everything like normal people.
