Fox/LIV Broadcast Misses Jon Rahm’s Albatross, No Official Replay

The blackout of a rare shot raises fresh doubts about LIV’s broadcast operation during a period of funding uncertainty.

Overview

  • Jon Rahm holed his second shot for albatross on the par-5 17th at Trump National Washington, D.C., which LIV Golf Data recorded as the league’s fifth all-time and his first.
  • The Fox Sports/LIV telecast neither aired nor acknowledged the shot despite the tour’s fast-cut “Don’t Blink” approach, and no replay was available on the league’s site at the time.
  • Only on-site video surfaced, including a distant clip shared by Rahm’s Legion XIII team, rather than an official broadcast replay.
  • Lucas Herbert won LIV Golf Virginia at 24 under to secure a U.S. Open berth, while Rahm closed at 15 under to tie for eighth.
  • The production lapse adds to questions about LIV’s product quality as Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund reassesses support beyond the 2026 season.
