Jon Rahm lauded Rory McIlroy's historic Masters victory at Augusta National last week. In a recent post on X, the LIV Golfer praised the Northern Irishman for becoming the first European golfer to complete the Career Grand Slam.
After an 11-year major championship drought, McIlroy won the tournament in the playoff against Justin Rose. Rahm, who has a net worth of $218 million (via Forbes), called it a moment the entire golf world "dreams about." He wrote on X:
"What an amazing week. We witnessed history made on Sunday, 6th man and first ever European to accomplish the grand slam! Congrats Rory!!!! This is something we all dream about and he achieved it."

The 2023 Masters champion Rahm also made his ninth start at Augusta National this year. However, he had an average performance at the tournament. He started with an opening round of 75, making it an uphill task to win the tournament.
He narrowly made the cut, posting a score of 71 in the second round. He followed it with rounds of 70 and 69 at the weekend. He finished with a score of 3-under and tied for 14th with Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, and others. Reflecting on his performance, he wrote on X:
"As for myself rough start to the tournament set me back to far to have any change but happy about my play on the weekend. It’s always a pleasure to get to go back to Augusta National! There is nothing like it."
His T14 performance was his sixth top-25 finish at the Augusta National in his ninth start. He took home a prize money of $336,000 from a total purse of $21 million.
