Former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley believes Jon Rahm is ‘not the same competitor’ since his move to LIV Golf.
Paul McGinley considers it ‘disappointing’ Jon Rahm has had to withdraw from the US Open, but at the same time has criticised him for ‘no longer being the same player’ that he was prior to his move to the LIV Golf League this season.
Rahm, 29, bowed out of this week’s US Open at Pinehurst No.2 in North Carolina on Tuesday.
The $600m LIV Golf superstar and 2021 US Open champion cited a foot infection for his WD.
It was the same reason Rahm withdrew during the second round of LIV Golf Houston last week.
Rahm’s omission from the 2024 US Open marks his first absence at a major since the 2016 US PGA.
