Former Masters champion Jon Rahm withdrew from the LIV Golf event in Houston during the second round on Saturday due to a foot infection, raising concerns about his availability for next week’s U.S. Open. Rahm was visibly in pain after hitting a tee shot on the seventh hole on Friday, as captured by cameras.
Rahm is slated to address the media in a pre-tournament news conference on Tuesday, ahead of the U.S. Open set for June 13-16 at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
Last year, Rahm secured top-10 finishes in three majors, including a victory at the Masters. However, he has faced challenges at major tournaments since his unexpected move to LIV Golf last December. He tied for 45th at this year’s Masters and missed the cut at last month’s PGA Championship.
Rahm won his first major title at the 2021 U.S. Open and finished tied for 10th last year.
