To say I am disappointed is an understatement.

A few hours before communicating this decision, in the press conference prior to the US Open dispute, Jon Rahm had assured that the infection, which forced him to withdraw from LIV Houston on Saturday, was under control, but he acknowledged that the damaged area “was still swollen,” and that it was “painful.”
“I don’t know what happened, but it became infected. I was in a lot of pain. In the round last Saturday, in the morning, I gave myself an injection to numb the area. It was going to last the whole round, but by the second hole I was already in pain” , said the golfer from Biscay, referring to the LIV Houston last weekend.
