Jon Rahm faced severe criticism after a dramatic collapse during the final round of the Men's Golf competition at the Paris Olympics, where he squandered a four-shot lead and ultimately failed to medal. Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee labeled Rahm's performance as 'one of the biggest collapses, chokes of the year,' comparing it to Rory McIlroy's mishap at the U.S. Open. Rahm's struggles materialized on the back nine, where he shot a 39, allowing Scottie Scheffler to come from behind and claim gold with a record-tying performance. Despite his successful season on the LIV tour, the Olympic failure heavily weighed on Rahm, who expressed deep regret over letting down his country. Chamblee's harsh remarks sparked mixed reactions, as some accused him of bias against LIV golfers, while others supported his assessment. The incident highlights the pressures golfers face on a global stage, especially when representing their nations.
