Jon Rahm has revealed that he was blanked by someone he formerly had a 'cordial' relationship with during the Masters.
The Spaniard left the PGA Tour at the end of last year to join LIV Golf in a deal reported to be worth a staggering £450million.
The Masters was his first event back playing with some of his former colleagues since his move to LIV.
The defending champion struggled throughout the week as he eventually finished tied-45th at nine-over-par for the tournament.

There was plenty of attention on Rahm in the build-up to the Masters to see how his fellow professionals would receive him after leaving the PGA Tour.
Speaking after his final round on Sunday, Rahm admitted that he was greeted warmly by his friends.
However, there was one person who Rahm was previously close with who ignored him completely throughout the week.
"Some did. I expected it," Rahm told Golf Channel Latin America.
"And then, there was someone else who I expected to be a little tougher... and one of them hugged me.
"I think that, among all the relationships I have, it has been everything that I expected. My friends are still my friends.
"And then someone, with whom I was very cordial and had a positive relationship, has not even looked at me.
"If someone changes their opinion of me, it is more their problem than mine. I am not worried.

"I knew it was going to happen. I didn't know who."
During his pre-Masters press conference earlier this week, Rahm gave a bit more insight into what he thought would happen after he joined LIV.
He said: "I understood my position, yes. And I understood that it could be, what I hoped, a step towards some kind of agreement, yes.
