Sun May 18 21:20:00 UTC 2025: **Jon Rahm’s Biggest Fan: A Look at Wife Kelley Cahill’s Role in the Golf Star’s Success**
Scottsdale, Arizona – Jon Rahm’s ascent to golfing stardom has been a remarkable journey, and throughout it all, one constant has been the unwavering support of his wife, Kelley Cahill. From his first PGA Tour victory in 2017 to his major championships and Ryder Cup triumphs, Cahill has been a fixture, often seen on camera cheering Rahm on, and now accompanied by their three children.
Rahm and Cahill, both born in 1994, met at Arizona State University where Cahill was a standout athlete in her own right, competing in javelin and demonstrating talent in tennis and even boxing. Rahm has said she could “throws a mean spiral” with a football.
Their relationship blossomed, leading to a 2019 wedding in Rahm’s hometown of Bilbao, Spain, in a church where he attended with his grandmother. “Last Friday was the best day of my life,” Rahm shared on Instagram, describing it as a “dream wedding.”
The couple’s family quickly grew with the arrival of sons Kepa in 2021, Aneko in 2022, and daughter Alaia in 2024. Rahm has openly spoken about the impact of fatherhood on his perspective, emphasizing the importance of family above all else. Even above golf.
“If I had a gun to my head and had to choose between having only one or the other, I wouldn’t pick golf … I’d choose family every time,” he told Golf Digest.
Cahill has been present for all of Rahm’s career-defining moments, including his U.S. Open victory just weeks after Kepa’s birth, his rise to World No. 1 in 2023, and his Masters Tournament win. She has even teed off with him and their children in the Masters Par 3 Contest.
Rahm has acknowledged the impact Cahill’s presence had when he graduated college: “Special mention to @cahillkelley for being a great girlfriend and supporting me all semester both on and of the course, she has watched me play more golf than my parents have in the last 4 years Love You,” Rahm wrote underneath a collage on Instagram.
Beyond the accolades, Rahm’s commitment to family remains paramount, solidifying the Rahm-Cahill partnership as a true testament to love and support in the world of professional golf.
