Jon Rahm reveals why he's not yet going down YouTube route like Bryson DeChambeau

Despite being told by a number of his peers he would be very good at presenting his own YouTube Channel, LIV Golf superstar Jon Rahm admits he's not yet ready to follow in the footsteps of Bryson DeChambeau.

Rahm, 30, made his feelings about YouTube be known ahead of his title defence at this week's LIV Golf UK at JCB in England. 

The former World No.1 has spoken to his LIV Golf peer DeChambeau, 31, about the prospect of setting up his own YouTube channel one day, and has even appeared in viral videos with the likes of Grant Horvat and Phil Mickelson.

But despite his general interest, Rahm at this very moment wants to solely focus his time on his golf game and family, especially with three young children at home. 

He's not ruling it out in the future though. 

DeChambeau's YouTube channel, which has over 2m subscribers, has now made him one of the most successful golf YouTubers in the world. 

Rahm believes his fellow LIV Golf superstar is able to go about his business on YouTube because he has spare time without young kids.

"I've talked to quite a few people, Bryson being one of them, at that point as the first and only player to have gone that route," Rahm told reporters in the media centre at LIV Golf UK. 

"I talked to him in Nashville last year, and he gave a little bit of his ideas.

"I've talked to Phil [Mickelson] since then. I've talked to Grant Horvat. I've talked to Wesley Bryan. It's mainly come through the support when I've done videos with them and people saying how good they think I would be, and I do love it, and I think it's a lot of fun, and I do enjoy putting different parts of myself out there.

"The main argument, and I can't stress this enough, against doing it is that I just don't think I would have the time to balance family, golf and YouTube. I have three young kids; at some point I just don't think I would have the time to do it. It would be too much of a sacrifice of either me practicing or family time. As of right now, that's not something I'm willing to do.

"In Bryson's case, no kids, he has all the time in the world to do what he needs to do. Phil, his kids are all graduated from college, they're all living their own lives, he has the time to do what he needs to do. Me being in the middle, I feel like I would have to choose two of the three, and there's two I'm not willing to give up, so that's the main reason I haven't done it.

"As of right now I'm perfectly happy appearing on channels. I'm perfectly happy playing with those guys and in a way getting exposed to their audience. But I don't know if I would yet find the energy in me to try to find the time to do a channel myself.

"But that's something that's on my mind because I enjoy it."

Rahm also spoke about when he thinks Sergio Garcia will become Ryder Cup captain.
