The first-year LIV Golf player picked up his first victory in the Saudi-backed league at LIV Golf Nashville, finishing at 19 under and winning by six shots at The Grove. For his victory, Hatton will take home a $4 million winner’s check on the back of his strong finish last week at the U.S. Open.

Sam Horsfield placed second while U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, Joaquin Niemann, Lee Westwood and Jon Rahm tied for third.

Rahm and Hatton’s Legion XIII took home the team title and with it a $3 million prize.

Jon Rahm goes off on drones at LIV Golf Nashville: ‘These f—–g drones every time’

Drones, but louder.

Drones have become an integral part of television’s coverage of professional golf.

Whether at a major championship or week-to-week stop, drones can be seen — and heard — buzzing around golf courses across the country every week. While they provide some incredible shots and give a new perspective of courses that have never been seen before, they also have some drawbacks because of the noise.

Enter LIV Golf’s Jon Rahm, who Sunday was three shots back of Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton at LIV Golf Nashville at The Grove when he was on the par-4 sixth tee. Rahm’s tee shot sailed right into the water hazard, and before his ball reached his apex, he turned around and looked into the sky in disgust.

“Every tournament. It’s f—–g incredible. Right on my backswing. These f—–g drones every time,” the microphones caught the two-time major champion saying.

Drones, but louder.

Rahm would go on to make double, the worst score on the hole of the golfers who had completed the hole by that time (remember, LIV Golf events begin with a shotgun start).

The Spaniard has given some great hot mic moments before, but he also has a point about drones moving right in the middle of his swing. It happens more often than you think, and given Rahm’s fiery competitiveness, it’s no surprise he’s the one to let us know what likely many other professional golfers think about drones.

For the first time in his career, Greg Norman lifts U.S. Open trophy alongside LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau

As the person taking the video said, “First time touching it, that’s crazy!”

For the second time in his career, LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau captured the U.S. Open title last week at the famed Pinehurst No. 2, besting Rory McIlroy by one shot after the Northern Irishman played his final four holes 3 over.

DeChambeau returned to the LIV Golf circuit this week, as the Saudi-backed league is in Tennessee for LIV Golf Nashville at The Grove, its ninth event of the season.

The Big Golfer has been on a tour with the U.S. Open trophy since winning last Sunday, a trek that included a visit with Norman.

During his career, The Shark won the Open Championship twice but no other majors. He finished second at the U.S. Open twice, once at Winged Foot in 1984 and again at Shinnecock in 1995.

Watch: Phil Mickelson, HyFlyers GC line dance in cowboy attire before 2024 LIV Golf Nashville

The boys were getting after it.

A week after one of its members claimed the U.S. Open title at Pinehurst No. 2, LIV Golf is in Tennessee for LIV Golf Nashville, its ninth event of the season.

Play gets underway Friday at The Grove — last week’s winner Bryson DeChambeau is the betting favorite at +750 — but HyFlyers GC and its captain Phil Mickelson got the party going a little bit early in the Music City.

Mickelson and teammates Brendan Steele, Cameron Tringale and Andy Ogletree tried their hands, or should we say feet, at line dancing.

The team currently is 11th in the points standings out of 13 teams.

Have to do anything to change the vibes.
