“I Let the Team Down Severely”: Jon Rahm Calls Himself LVP of Ryder Cup But Not as a Player

Jon Rahm revealed himself as the European team’s LVP (Lowest Valuable Player) at the 2023 Ryder Cup. However, he did not mean that in terms of playing performance but instead in terms of post-win celebration performance. Before joining LIV Golf, he was at the Phoenix Children’s charity event that was held at The Manner Babershop in Scottsdale, Arizona. There, while speaking to Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz, he revealed some major celebration gigs after they won the prestigious biennial event at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome.

In a video uploaded by GOLF’s Subpar on their YouTube Channel, Jon Rahm was asked about the European Team’s MVP of the afterparty in Rome when they won the 2023 Ryder Cup. The Spaniard replied calling himself the LVP while he thought that Shane Lowry would be the MVP. However, he further revealed it was Sepp Straka who came in as the dark horse of the afterparty.

“I was the LVP, the least valuable player. It’s disappointing. I let the team down severely. So, I thought it was going to be Shane [Lowry] but everybody told me that the dark horse in the race was Sepp Straka. Apparently, Sepp can put some drinks down,” Jon Rahm said.
