Masters champion Jon Rahm has pulled out of the inaugural TGL golf league launched by Ryder Cup team mate Rory McIlroy and American great Tiger Woods, the Spaniard said on Thursday.
Jon Rahm, the No. 3-ranked golfer in the world, has pulled out of participating in the inaugural season of TGL, the tech-infused league being fronted by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm is no longer affiliated with TGL, the simulator golf league launched by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Rahm, the two-time major champion and current No. 3 golfer in the world,joined Justin Thomas as the first two players to sign up for the league in November 2022. On Thursday, the 28-year-old Spaniard said he elected to bow out. "I am sad to confirm that I will not be participating in the first TGL season," Rahm wrote on Twitter. "While I still think it's a great opportunity, right now it would require a level of commitment that I can't offer. Best of luck to everyone (involved) and may the best team win!" TGL officials confirmed the move as well. "Jon is one of the most talented players in the game and we will miss him during the inaugural TGL season," TGL officials said in a statement.
Two-time major championship winner Justin Thomas is joining Atlanta Drive GC, one of the six teams in TGL presented by SoFi, the tech-infused golf league being developed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, the franchise announced Tuesday.
Organisers for the Masters and Open Championship on Thursday dismissed the notion that they would create automatic major exemptions for LIV golfers next year. "While we do not at this time anticipate making any changes in 2024, we do always look at them and we will continue to do that," said Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley. "Our qualification criteria are very much dynamic, and we adjust to what we feel is in the bestinterests of the tournament representing the best players in the world, so we always look at that." When a reporter suggested it would be a "shame" if LIV Golf's individual season-long points winner Talor Gooch wasn't able to compete in the Masters, Ridley responded: "They made decisions based on what they thought was in the best interests of their golf careers, and we certainly respect that." Last April, 18 LIV Golf members competed in the Masters -- with Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson finishing in a tie for second place, four strokes behind the winner Jon Rahm. Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith are the lone LIV players currently eligible for the 2024 Masters field. R&A chief executive officer Martin Slumbers said Thursday that it was premature to discuss the qualification criteria for The Open in 2024. "There has been some speculation in the media recently, and I would say that it is completely off the mark," Slumbers said.
