Pat Perez: World No. 1 Jon Rahm Not Quitting Until He Passes Tiger’s Major Total

Jon Rahm’s status as the world’s top-ranked golfer has far from quelled his desire to continue to grow his career achievements in the sport.

In fact, according to one of Rahm’s playing partners, PGA Tour veteran Pat Perez, the 27-year-old has his eyes set on a lofty goal less than a year after claiming his first major: winning more major championships than Tiger Woods.

Perez shared the aspiration during a Friday appearance on GOLF’s Subpar podcast, telling hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz that Rahm plans to keep playing for as long as it takes for him to not only edge out Woods’s 15 major wins but eclipse Jack Nicklaus’s record 18 victories.
