Jon Rahm Bio: Early Life, Family, and Education

Jon Rahm Rodríguez was born on November 10, 1994, in Barrika, Biscay, Spain. Edorta Rahm, his father, was from Basque Country, while his mother, Ángela Rodríguez, belonged to Madrid.

Rahm was interested in sports from a very young age, and he started playing golf before the age of 7. Similarly, he participated in canoeing, jai alai, soccer, and kung fu until 14. After that, he left these sports activities to focus on a golf career.

Hence, he practiced golfing at Centro Nacional de Golf, the model course in Madrid created by Spain’s Royal Golf Federation. 

His parents encouraged him to play golf since they enjoyed the sport themselves. Edorta and Ángela first took up golf after seeing the 1997 Ryder Cup in Valderrama, so they naturally taught the sport to their children. 

Jon attended IES Ortega y Gassett, a high school in Madrid, Spain. He won several European golf competitions, like the Jacques Léglise Trophy (2011) and Bonallack Trophy (2012). 

His father persuaded him to apply for college in the United States because of better career opportunities. So in 2012, he went to Arizona State University on a golf scholarship after being recruited by golf coach Tim Mickelson.

He graduated from Arizona State with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications.

Since Rahm grew up in Spain, he learned English phrases by listening to hip-hop music. His favorite songs include Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Swimming Pools by Kendrick Lamar.
