Jon Rahm delivered a strong performance on May 16, shooting a 67 in the third round of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club near Philadelphia. His score brought him to four under par and briefly placed him in a tie for the lead before a bogey on the final hole [1, 2].
Heading into the final round on Sunday, May 17, Rahm is positioned as a top contender for the title [1, 2]. He has previously won two major championships: the 2021 U.S. Open and the 2023 Masters [1, 2].
Rahm joined the LIV Golf tour in late 2023 but has had inconsistent results in majors since the switch [1, 2]. The Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund has invested over $5 billion in LIV Golf since its 2022 launch, but the fund announced in May 2026 it plans to cut financial support after this season [1, 2].
Despite the uncertain future of LIV Golf’s funding, Rahm said his focus remains on his own performance. "Honestly, in a week like this one, I'm thinking more about myself. I'm not going to take on anything outside what I can control when it comes to competing tomorrow," he said [1].
Rahm also highlighted the significance of a win for his country and his career goals. "But what it would mean for Spain as well in the Grand Slam tally and being the last leg of the Grand Slam for us as well, there's a lot of things that would mean a lot," he said [2].
Rahm's challenge on May 17 will be to maintain his momentum and capitalize on his strong position to claim a third major title and possibly complete the career Grand Slam. The final round at Aronimink Golf Club will decide the champion.
