Fans online were not impressed with the manner Jon Rahm celebrated his season-long Individual Championship win at LIV Golf. After wrapping up the Individual Championship for the second year in a row at Westfield, Indiana, the Spaniard poured milk over himself, in line with Indy 500’s tradition.

The event at The Club at Chatham Hills saw Rahm fire an 11-under 60 in the final round with 10 birdies, an eagle, and a bogey, finishing tied at 22-under with Sebastián Muñoz. Muñoz later reached the playoff to claim his first LIV Golf title, but Rahm had already secured the season-long championship thanks to Joaquín Niemann’s T-4 finish.

Jon Rahm’s celebration, a tribute to Indianapolis’ Indy 500, didn’t sit well with golf fans. Zire Golf shared NUCLR Golf’s post on Instagram, and reactions came pouring in.

Reacting to the post, a user commented:

“LIV is unwatchable”
“What a waste of talent and milk,” added another.

One mocked the league, writing:

“LIV is such a joke.”

While another questioned:

“Was the champagne budget dried up??”

Another user summed it up, saying:

“I can’t defend LIV any longer. Just end it all. Get these guys back on the tour so they can have any chance of redeeming their careers or becoming competitive again.”
