'Disgusting' footage of Jon Rahm draws mixed reaction: "He made his choice"
Jon Rahm was filmed drinking from a shoe alongside Australian music producer Fisher after LIV Golf's recent event in Adelaide.
Footage of Jon Rahm drinking from a shoe on stage at LIV Golf Adelaide's afterparty has been met with a mixed reaction from social media users.
Rahm, the breakaway tour's reigning individual champion, finished sixth last week at LIV's second event of the 2025 season at The Grange.
The result earned Rahm a cheque for $700,000 and the golfer was in the mood to let loose so joined DJ Fisher on stage where he was filmed doing a 'shoey'.
Such behaviour was met with a mixed reaction from X users, with some condemning the former Masters champion.
Others loved it.
"Disgusting," one X user wrote of the Legion XIII captain.
Another added: "Sorry but he finished what sixth or seventh? These celebrations are lame."
"Forgot this guy plays golf," another said.
This person wrote: "He's becoming irrelevant in the game he was once on top of - can you imagine Tiger doing that crap?"

Rahm reaches unwanted milestone
The clip was posted after it was confirmed that the 30-year-old had dropped outside of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in eight years.
Rahm entered the top 50 in the rankings after he won his maiden PGA Tour event in 2017 in California.
He reached the top spot - twice - and his spell as the World No.1 lasted for a total of 52 weeks.
Rahm was third in the rankings when he made the switch to LIV Golf in December 2023 for a reported £450m ($566.4m).
He is understood to have signed a five-year contract.
Rahm could be back on the PGA Tour soon
A deal between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's backers - the Saudi PIF - appears to be on the horizon.
The aforementioned Woods stated last week during the Genesis Invitational that the men's game will heal 'pretty quickly' after years of disruption.
Woods said the involvement of American president Donald Trump would be crucial to an agreement.
"We're going to get this game going in the right direction," Woods said.
"It's been heading in the wrong direction for a number of years and the fans want all of us to play together, all the top players playing together and we're going to make that happen."
Player director Adam Scott, who met with Trump recently at the White House with PGA Tour boss Jay Monahan, has also recently suggested that players like Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson could be welcomed back with ease.
Although some players might not like that, he said.
Scott told the Associated Press that he would understand if some PGA Tour members would be 'bitter'.
"I hope they're not spending as much time talking about it as I have.
"I wouldn't hold it against anybody if there were negative emotions attached to it, the thought of players coming back."
Rahm's last official PGA Tour event was the 2023 Tour Championship at East Lake.
After joining LIV, he spoke of his desire to retain memberships on the DP World Tour and US PGA.
