Jon Rahm has withdrawn from this week\u2019s Spanish Open as he and wife Kelley await the birth of the couple\u2019s fourth child.<\/p>\n
Rahm is a three-time winner of his national open but will no longer tee it up in Madrid. The Spanish Open still boasts a strong field, headlined by Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed, Tyrrell Hatton and Ludvig Aberg, as the DP World Tour season enters its final stages.<\/p>\n
Rahm was looking to bounce back from a last-place showing two weeks ago at the BMW PGA, the worst finish of his career. The world No. 15\u2019s short-term playing future remains uncertain as he has not yet committed to LIV 2.0.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a long legal process they have to go through before a lot of things fall into place,\u201d Rahm said.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year Rahm agreed to a conditional release with the DP World Tour to continue playing LIV events without any further sanctions, but that deal extended to only the 2026 season. Rahm is believed to be obligated to play twice more \u2013 most likely next month in Abu Dhabi and Dubai \u2013 to fulfill the requirements of that arrangement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jon Rahm has withdrawn from this week\u2019s Spanish Open as he and wife Kelley await the birth of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":873006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-873005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/873006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
