"It’s so cringe";"Embarrassing": Fans react to Jon Rahm's shoeying after finishing 6th in Adelaide

Jon Rahm had a decent outing at the LIV Golf Adelaide last week, where he finished sixth in the event after carding -7. After the final round, Jon Rahm attended the music concert of Australian DJ Fisher at the Grange Golf Club and did the Australian tradition of shoey on stage. Fans are now reacting to this video on X.

Flushing It shared a video that was shared by followthefishtv on Instagram of Jon Rahm drinking from a shoe along with Paul Fisher, the Australian DJ. NUCLR reposted this video with the caption:

"#SHOEY — Jon Rahm was LIV-ing his best life in Adelaide this past weekend (Via: @flushingitgolf / @followthefishtv)"

Fans are reacting to this tweet and expressing their views, with one saying:

"It’s so cringe."

"Embarrassing," another fan wrote.

One fan shared his thoughts and said he doesn't see this on the PGA Tour.

"I will say, you don’t typically see this in the PGA Tour," a fan said.

However, the rest of the comments seemed to be not impressed by Jon Rahm's action.

"Imagine trading legacy for a shitty shoe beer," a user commented.

"Maybe this is my unpopular old man opinion but there has never been anything cool or fun about this stupid Australian tradition. It’s gross and wildly inconvenient and lame, no idea what they’re thinking down there," a fan tweeted.

"He went from wanting legacy and winning all the historical events to drinking out of a trainer. Strange times in golf... Strange times," another fan wrote.

Meanwhile, Jon Rahm registered his 14th consecutive top-10 finish on LIV Golf since his debut last year. Despite that, since there are no OWGR points on offer, he has slipped below 50 on the OWGR for the first time in his career. He is currently ranked 52nd and is expected to drop further in the rankings.
