Yesterday at Bolingbrook Golf Club just outside Chicago, Jon Rahm wrapped up LIV Golf’s 2024 individual title in comfortable fashion, keeping Joaquin Niemann at arm’s length throughout the final day. The season-long championship came with plenty of goodies, including a $US22 million winner’s cheque, but none more unique as the diamond-studded ring/ball marker gifted to Rahm after his big win.

If you think Rahm’s new ice looks pretty cool from the outside, just wait until you see what’s inside.

That’s right. Not only does this double as a championship ring and arguably the ‘bougiest’ ball marker on the planet, when you open it up, there’s a QR code inside that plays the footage of Rahm’s title-clinching putt when you scan it. That sure beats that random coin you’ve been marking your ball with all year.
Rahm jokingly asked if he could change the highlight to his decisive birdie putt on the 17th hole, but he’ll have no squabbles with how he finished his maiden LIV season, going 1-2-1 across the final three tournaments to pip Niemann for the title. Rahm might not have won a major in 2024, but he’s still one of men’s golf’s top dawgs, and now he has the bling to prove it.
