Jon Rahm Withdraws from LIV Golf Houston with Foot Infection: Disappointing Setback Ahead of U.S. Open

Jon Rahm, the 2021 U.S. Open champion and current seventh-ranked golfer in the world, withdrew from the LIV Golf Houston event on Saturday due to an infection in his left foot.

Rahm dealt with discomfort during both rounds of the tournament at Golf Club of Houston in Texas. According to multiple sources, he was seen grimacing and limping after a shot on the par-3 seventh hole during Friday's first round. However, Rahm continued to play and finished with a 69.

On Saturday, Rahm played six holes before deciding to withdraw due to the worsening infection. No further details about his condition have been released.

Rahm's withdrawal comes just days before the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina, where he is one of the betting favorites with odds of 16/1.

The Spaniard has had a disappointing season in major championships, finishing T-45 at the Masters and missing the cut at last month's PGA Championship. His last win came at the 2023 Masters, where he defeated Scottie Scheffler in a thrilling playoff.

Rahm is currently second in LIV Golf's individual points standings and leads his own team, Legion XIII. He has finished inside the top 10 in all seven events he has played on the Saudi Arabia-backed tour.
