Rahm has earned $4,491,815 on the PGA Tour in just over a year and $2,653,883 on the 2017 European Tour since May 30, 2016, when he dropped a birdie putt to finish tied for third at the NCAA Championships and close his incredible collegiate career.
We will have more on this today but since making this birdie putt to close his career in June of 2016 what @JonRahmpga has done is amazing. pic.twitter.com/ZPWbn5tPdx

Back on June 26, 2016, Rahm earned his first PGA paycheck by finishing tied for third at the Quicken Loans National. He also finished second at the RBC Canadian Open, tied for 25th at the Travelers Championship and tied for 14th at the John Deere Classic. That was just a preview of what would happen in 2017. In 16 PGA events, he has posted seven top-10 finishes and made 14 cuts. He stands fifth for FEDEXCUP points with 1,708.
And when not on the PGA Tour, he is making shots like this...
