Rahm’s latest hot-mic moment came in Sunday’s round at the LIV Golf Nashville tournament as he complained about a drone camera.

Jon Rahm is one of the most passionate professional golfers. He is also one of many LIV Golf players who use profanities.

His latest f-bomb came during the Sunday round of the LIV Golf Nashville tournament.

He started his round 3-under through his first five holes, then Rahm stepped on the sixth tee at The Grove.

A loud noise allegedly distracted the Spaniard. He hit his tee shot, causing the ball to go left and splash into the water.

Rahm looked back at the drone and lost it.

“Every tournament!” Rahm yelled. “It’s f—ing incredible! Right in my backswing! F—ing drones every time!”

The 2023 Masters winner double-bogeyed the par-4 6th. It dropped him to four shots behind his teammate and the Nashville leader Tyrrell Hatton.

He did get one of those strokes back with a birdie on seven.

This is not the first time Rahm has thrown an f-bomb around at a LIV Golf tournament; it has become a regular occurrence to hear him cuss.

He and Hatton both yelled the four-letter explicative at Augusta National, which caused Padraig Harrington to call them out. Last year, the duo were caught on hot mics at the Ryder Cup.

In February at LIV Golf Mayakoba, Rahm got caught again yelling the f-word.

When Rahm signed with his new tour last December, he was no stranger to how LIV does its tournaments. He knew what he signed up for, but that did not stop him from cussing.

LIV’s motto is “Golf, but Louder,” but at what point does it become too much for players?

How many hot mic moments have to happen for something to change, or will it at all?
