Rahm, the private plane with library and office

Jon Rahm is honoring 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 contract worth around €550 million. This status is reflected not only on the greens, but also during his travels.

As of 2021, Rahm has been a member and ambassador of VistaJet, a private jet airline founded in 2004 by Thomas Flohr and which has found fertile ground in the golf world. The company offers flights from $11,000 per hour and has absolute flexibility. “Owning a jet does not provide the level of flexibility that VistaJet offers,” Rahm said in the brand’s comments.

This service allows the player to fly with his family or his technical team to any tournament in the world. He only needs 24 hours’ notice to have a plane ready, with a flight attendant, on his way to his next challenge.

Its regular aircraft belongs to the Global 7500 fleet, VistaJet’s flagship: the private jet with the longest range, speed and cabin space in the world. A real flying luxury.

Rahm himself shared his experiences on board. “I flew the Global 7500 to Spain for a tournament… and it was a fantastic flight! You go from the main cabin to the couch and then to the rear bedroom, which also has a library and an office. It’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I ate dinner, went to bed and slept for eight hours straight without any problem. It was the only time I flew across the Atlantic with such a big time zone change and I didn’t get jet lag,” admitted the golfer. in 2022. His Global 7500 is almost an extension of his home: including sofa, bed and office, 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 produces distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the inability of many players to adhere to the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, called etiquette, which generally means that the game is played with respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential part of this sport.
