JonRahm lives up to his contract, even in the air. The Spanish golfer, former world number one and now a star of the LIV Golf Championship, signed a four-year deal worth approximately 550 million. This status is evident not only on the greens but also in his travels.

Since 2021, Rahm has been a member and ambassador of VistaJet, a private jet airline founded in 2004 by Thomas Flohr that has found fertile ground in golf. The company offers flights starting at $11,000 per hour and boasts absolute flexibility. Owning a jet doesn't offer this level of flexibility that VistaJet provides, Rahm stated in comments released by the brand.
With this service, the player can fly with his family or his technical team to any tournament in the world. He only needs to give 24 hours' notice to have a plane ready, with a flight attendant, bound for his next challenge.

His regular aircraft belongs to the Global 7500 fleet, VistaJet's flagship: the private jet with the greatest range, speed, and cabin space on the planet. A true flying luxury.
Rahm himself has shared his experience on board. I flew on the Global 7500 to Spain for a tournament and it was a fantastic flight! You go from the main cabin to the sofa and then to the rear bedroom, which also has a library and an office. Its one of the coolest things Ive ever seen. I had dinner, went to bed, and slept for eight hours straight without any problem. It was the only time Ive flown across the Atlantic with such a big time zone change and I didnt get jet lag, the golfer confessed in 2022. His Global 7500 is almost an extension of his home: sofa, bed, and office included, all tailored to the athlete.

The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respecting the rules is a fundamental element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the failure of many players to comply with the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the game with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
