Although he had a great start, Rahm did not really excel at this controversial Tour. The moment that particularly attracted attention was the Spaniard's frustrations when drones made noise during a LIV event.
"Every tournament, it's * incredible," Rahm said.
"Right on my back swing. These * drones every time."
After such moments, many created the impression that the 31-year-old is not satisfied playing on this Tour. Nevertheless, the Spaniard said immediately afterwards that he had no problem with LIV at all, insisting that he had made a good decision.
In an interview with the BBC, Rahm decided to open his heart, admitting that he was frustrated with the media headlines, especially during the period when the incident with the drone happened.
The Spaniard confirmed that he had problems in his private life, and there were also various things that did not suit him, such as press releases and questions from journalists.

"I don't know why some parts of the media felt like they needed to make it sound like I was unhappy," Rahm told BBC Sport.
"I was comfortable with my decision and had an incredible year in LIV and had a lot of fun and it was enjoyable.
If at any time I felt unhappy it was because I didn't enjoy some of the press conferences I had to do at some events.
Maybe I hadn't played my best golf up until June, July.
But the number one reason was my wife had an incredibly difficult pregnancy.
It was weighing on me and things got a lot better in July."- he said.
