Jon Rahm will not be part of TGL, the virtual golf league owned by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
The world No. 3 and reigning Masters champion confirmed in a social media post last week that he won’t participate in the league, which will be contested via weekly matches at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
“I am sad to confirm that I will not be participating in the first TGL season,” Rahm wrote on X. “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!”

In a statement to ESPN, TGL said it was working to replace Rahm on its 24-player roster.
“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 the statement. “We understand that players have to balance a lot of different facets of their professional and personal lives and respect Jon’s choice and wish him well.”
