During the post-round press conference of the 2025 PGA Championship on Friday, May 16, Jon Rahm asked a reporter not to reveal the Major's leaderboard. The Spanish golfer has teed it up at this week's Major, and after two rounds, he settled in the T27 position.

In the post-round press conference, a reporter said that at this week's event, only five Major winners are in the top 34. Rahm was shocked by the stats and said (via ASAP Sports):

"Really? In the top 37 is 1-under?"

However, the reporter corrected him with the score; it was not 1-under but 2-under.

"I know Scottie's there, myself, Fitzy," Rahm said.

The reporter then said:

"Six then. I forgot Fitz. Keegan, Adam."

However, before he could finish it, Rahm, who has a net worth of $100 million (via Forbes), interrupted the reporter and said:

"I don't need to know --"

But the reporter continued to name the players, saying:

"And Bryson."

But again, Rahm said:

"I don't need to know the whole list."

Jon Rahm played the opening round of 70 and then again carded another round of 70 to settle with a total of 2-under at the PGA Championship 2025.
