He is one of the best golfers in history, but the great triumph of Jon Rahm It has nothing to do with his profession or with all the tournaments he has won. The greatest gift of the Basque athlete is the family he has formed with Kelley Cahillwhich have just become numerous with the arrival of a new member. It was he himself who shared the happy news along with several images of the newborn: “It is a blessing to have welcomed our daughter Alaia Cahill Rahm into the world last week. The mother and baby are healthy and doing very well, I can’t wait to come home to them.”

Since then they have been inseparable. Although they have resided in the United States for more than a decade, for their wedding they chose Spain, specifically Bilbao, where the athlete grew up and took his first sporting steps until becoming the legend he is now. On December 13, 2019, they married and two years later they had their first child, Kepa. Little Eneko came into the world in 2022 and now his happiness has multiplied with Alaia.
Rahm’s life has taken a turn after fatherhood and he believes that having started a family has also directly influenced his professional career, especially in the way he experiences his victories and defeats. “Whether I play well or badly, now I come home and as soon as Kepa sees me he just wants me to play with him… I’m his teacher and he has his needs. And that helps, the truth is that when you’re up there at the tournament and I return to the hotel “I come home and he’s there, it’s an hour when I forget where I am… It’s a joy that has no comparison And it also gives me a lot of calm that I didn’t have before,” he said. sports world.
About to turn 30, Rahm has reached the top in all aspects and is going through a period of fulfillment. But the path he has taken to date has not been easy. His story is that of a sports legend and also that of a person who has known how to overcome all obstacles. And he was born with a malformation in his foot for which he had to undergo surgery when he was only 20 minutes old and which caused his legs to not grow at the same rate. This problem has forced him to make his own version of swing, thus demonstrating that everything is a matter of adaptation.

Always with the example of Severiano Ballesteros in mind, he moved first to Madrid and then to the United States. He arrived at the age of 15 because Arizona State University, home of one of the most prestigious golf academies in the country, offered him a scholarship without even having seen him play. His first months there were not easy because he did not have a high level of English, but again he made an effort to give the best version of himself and that stage has ended up being key in his personal and professional career.
