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.
