Jon Rahm could very easily have taken the week off after winning the Masters last weekend, but he has chosen not to. Instead, Rahm will compete in the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
Why did Rahm decide to play in the event when so many other Masters champions would have skipped it instead? It all comes down to the commitment he made.
“I made a commitment earlier in the year and I want to honor that commitment,” Rahm said Wednesday. “I put myself in the shoes of not only the spectators, but the kids. If I was one of the kids, I would want to see the recent Masters champion play.”
