Jon Rahm’s recent appearance on GOLF’s Subpar podcast, in which he spoke candidly about fan abuse he experienced at Bethpage Black during the Ryder Cup, has continued to generate attention across the golf world. While the discussion largely focused on the intensity of the event, one unexpected topic—Rahm’s hair—ended up sparking an entirely different kind of reaction.
In the days following the interview, the two-time major champion revealed that he had received a private message from a Turkish hair transplant company, Esthetic Hair Turkey. The clinic appeared to reference Rahm’s lighthearted comments about his hair, reaching out directly through social media with an offer of its services.
Rahm shared screenshots of the exchange on Thursday, turning the unsolicited outreach into a moment of humor. Rather than taking the message seriously, the 31-year-old LIV Golf star responded with a playful twist, suggesting that the company might find more willing clients among his Ryder Cup teammates Tyrrell Hatton and Shane Lowry.
The remark, which Rahm delivered with his trademark blunt wit, drew laughs from fans online. By singling out Hatton and Lowry as being more “follicly challenged,” Rahm managed to roast two close teammates while keeping the tone firmly in the realm of friendly locker-room banter.
Despite the joke, Rahm also made it clear that his comments were not meant to be cruel. He hinted that if the clinic were genuinely interested in working with players on the tour, he would be happy to help facilitate a connection on behalf of his fellow golfers.
The exchange quickly gained traction on social media, offering a rare glimpse into the lighter side of professional golf. While it remains unclear whether anything will come of the interaction, the episode added an amusing footnote to Rahm’s already widely discussed Ryder Cup podcast appearance, reminding fans that even elite athletes are not immune to unexpected—and sometimes hilarious—online encounters.
