Rahm WDs from LIV event ahead of U.S. Open
**Rahm Withdraws from LIV Event, Eyes U.S. Open**
Spanish star Jon Rahm has withdrawn from the upcoming LIV Golf Invitational Series event in London to focus on the U.S. Open. The world No. 2 cited a scheduling conflict as the reason for his withdrawal.
Rahm, who won the U.S. Open in 2021, is one of the favorites for this year’s event at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. He has been in impressive form this season, with three PGA Tour victories and a runner-up finish at the Masters.
Rahm’s decision to withdraw from the LIV event is a blow to the Saudi-backed series, which has been criticized by many in the golf world. However, it is a sign that the PGA Tour remains the top priority for the game’s elite players.
