Overview
- Rahm’s frustrated swing at the 7th hole Thursday at the PGA Championship sent a divot that struck a volunteer in the shoulder and face.
- He walked over at once to apologize, later telling reporters, “I couldn’t feel any worse,” and calling his action “inexcusable.”
- Footage shows the volunteer rub his face, then smile during the exchange, and no serious injury has been reported.
- Under major golf’s new code of conduct, the PGA of America told Golf Channel that no warning was issued for the incident.
- Coverage also noted Rahm’s past on‑course flashes of anger, even as he bounced back after the episode with a 98‑yard hole‑out for his first PGA Championship eagle.
