Jon Rahm LOSES IT as furious LIV Golf star hits out at ‘f****ng drones’ flying overhead after disastrous swing
Jon Rahm said he is not a fan of drones flying over his head during LIV Golf Tournament broadcasts.
The Spaniard spoke out about the distraction of the drones after a terrible shot during Sunday’s round in Nashville.
After his tee shot on the sixth hole went into the water, Rahm blamed his misfortune on the buzz of the broadcast drone hovering above him.
“Every tournament,” the broadcaster called out Rahm. ‘It’s fucking unbelievable. Right on my backswing.”
“Those damn drones every time,” he continued.

To add salt to the wound, Rahm was within two strokes of the leader when he let his ball dive into the water on the par 4 hole.
He then made a double-bogey – his worst score on that hole among competitors who completed that sixth hole at The Grove. Additionally, the error left Rahm four shots behind leader Tyrrell Hatton.
Rahm followed the PGA Tour’s expanding LIV Golf route in December. The tournament in Nashville was his first since he withdrew from the US Open with a foot infection.
The two-time Major winner saw some improvement on the next hole as he birdied to pull within three of Hatton.

Like Rahm, the Englishman also had a mild outburst during the Music City event. Hatton’s moment came when he came up short on the putt after having a chance to birdie on the eighth hole.
While Rahm encountered problems with the drones, Hatton battled the forces of nature while cursing at the wind, according to NBC Sports.
“F*** you, wind!” Hatton exclaimed. ‘Two in a row just absolutely f***** me!’
