Ryder Cup Star Jon Rahm Hit with Fat Shaming Heckle Before Making Appearance with Wife
Jon Rahm got an early taste of New York’s rowdy Ryder Cup atmosphere this week — and it wasn’t exactly a warm welcome.
During a practice round at Bethpage Black on Tuesday, the Spanish star stepped up to the opening tee, only to be interrupted by a heckler who shouted: “Hey Rahmbo, where’s the Ozempic?” The jab, aimed at Rahm’s weight, quickly spread across social media, sparking debate about the line between playful fan banter and outright disrespect.
Rahm, known for his intensity and ability to block out distractions, did not respond to the remark in the moment. Instead, he composed himself and went on with his practice round, leaving many impressed with his composure under pressure. Fans in attendance noted that while New York crowds are famous for their loud and sometimes brutal heckling, this one clearly crossed into personal territory.
Later in the day, Rahm was seen making a calm, united appearance alongside his wife, Kelley Cahill, which seemed to send a clear message: his focus remains on family and the challenge ahead, not the noise from the sidelines.
The incident has fueled conversation among Ryder Cup followers. Some argue that heckling is part of golf’s rare but growing “party crowd” culture, especially in high-energy events like the Ryder Cup. Others believe that fat-shaming a player goes far beyond acceptable fan behavior and should be condemned.
As the Ryder Cup week unfolds, Rahm’s ability to channel the rowdy New York atmosphere into fuel for his performance will be a storyline to watch closely. And if Tuesday’s incident proved anything, it’s that Rahm is ready to handle both the cheers and the jeers.
