Rahm (foot infection) withdraws from U.S. Open

World No. 1 Jon Rahm has withdrawn from the 2024 U.S. Open with a lingering foot infection. Rahm, who won the U.S. Open in 2021, has been dealing with the injury since early June. He attempted to rehab the injury and play through the pain, but he was unable to make a full recovery in time for the U.S. Open. This is the second major championship that Rahm has withdrawn from this year. He also missed the Masters in April with the same injury. Rahm is expected to make a full recovery and return to competition later this summer.

Ortiz wins in Houston for first LIV Golf title

Abraham Ancer birdied the second hole of a four-man playoff to win the LIV Golf Houston tournament on Sunday, securing his first title on the breakaway circuit.

Ancer holed a 12-foot putt to defeat Carlos Ortiz, Phachara Khongwatmai, and Talor Gooch, who were tied after regulation.

The victory is a breakthrough for Ancer, who has been one of the most consistent players on the LIV Golf tour this season. The 32-year-old Mexican has now finished in the top 10 in all five of the LIV Golf events he has played in this year.

Ancer’s win also gives LIV Golf its first Mexican champion. The tour has been criticized for its lack of diversity, but Ancer’s victory is a step in the right direction.

Jon Rahm’s U.S. Open tune-up ends in ominous fashion

Jon Rahm’s U.S. Open tune-up ended in ominous fashion as the world number two carded a disappointing 76 in the final round of the PGA Tour Mayakoba Classic. The Spaniard, who has not won since the Mexico Open in May 2022, looked out of sorts throughout the day and never really threatened to challenge for the title.

Rahm’s struggles will be a concern for the U.S. Open, which starts next week at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. The 28-year-old is one of the favorites for the championship, but his recent form suggests that he may not be at his best.

PGA Tour: Progress made in talks with Saudi PIF

The PGA Tour has made progress in its negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) regarding a potential strategic partnership. Multiple sources familiar with the talks confirm that a deal could be reached within the next few weeks.

According to sources, the new deal would likely involve a significant financial investment from PIF in exchange for a stake in the PGA Tour’s media rights and other assets. The deal would not grant PIF exclusive control of the PGA Tour’s media rights, as was previously reported.

The potential partnership has raised concerns among some players and fans, who are concerned about Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. However, the PGA Tour has stated that it has conducted thorough due diligence on PIF and is confident that the fund meets the Tour’s standards for ethical conduct.

**Kaymer Shares LIV Lead Ahead of U.S. Open Return**

Martin Kaymer shared the halfway lead at the LIV Golf Invitational Boston on Saturday, putting himself in contention for a win ahead of his return to the U.S. Open.

Kaymer, a two-time major champion, is making his first appearance in a LIV Golf event since the PGA Tour suspended players who joined the Saudi-backed series.

He shot a 4-under 66 in the second round at The International Golf Club to move to 9-under for the tournament and share the lead with Australia’s Cameron Smith.

Kaymer, who won the U.S. Open in 2014 and the PGA Championship in 2010, will be one of the players to watch when the U.S. Open gets underway at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, on Thursday.

His strong performance in Boston suggests he is in good form ahead of the major championship, which is one of the four men’s golf majors.

Report: Murray to keep OWGR until after Travelers

**Murray to Keep OWGR Ranking Until After Travelers**

According to a report by Golfweek, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) will not update its rankings until after the Travelers Championship, which is scheduled to be played from June 22-25. This means that world number one Scottie Scheffler will remain at the top of the rankings for at least another week, even if he does not play in the Travelers Championship.

The OWGR is a system that ranks the world’s top golfers based on their recent performances. The rankings are updated every week, but there are certain weeks when the rankings are not updated, such as the weeks of the major championships. The Travelers Championship is not a major championship, but it is a PGA Tour event, and it is one of the most prestigious events on the schedule.
