With the win, Rahm won his seventh title on the PGA Tour. In addition to the 2021 US Open and 2022 Mexico Championship, he previously won the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, the 2018 CareerBuilder Challenge in Palm Springs, California, the 2019 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the 2020 Memorial Tournament, and the 2020 BMW Championships in Chicago.
Two of Rahm’s titles have come in playoffs as he beat Andrew Landry four years ago in Palm Springs and then Dustin Johnson at the 2020 BMW Championship. When Rahm won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2019, it was a team event. Rahm joined forces with Ryan Palmer. The 2022 Zurich Classic of New Orleans champions were Americans Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele.
Rahm remains at number two in the world. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler continues to be world number one.
