Rahm withdraws from LIV Team Championship due to lingering illness

Scottsdale, Arizona – Jon Rahm has withdrawn from the LIV Team Championship due to an ongoing illness, his team announced Thursday.

Rahm, who has been battling an unspecified illness for the past week, said he is “disappointed” to miss the event but is focusing on getting healthy.

“I’m not feeling 100%, so I’ve decided to withdraw from the LIV Team Championship,” Rahm said in a statement. “I’m disappointed to miss the event, but I’m confident my team can still perform well.”

Rahm’s withdrawal is a blow to the Torque GC team, which is one of the favorites to win the championship. Rahm has been one of the most consistent players on the LIV Golf circuit, winning two events and finishing in the top 10 in all but one of the seven events he has played.
