PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — World No. 1 Jon Rahm withdrew from the Players Championship citing stomach illness ahead of the second round.
Rahm, 28, has been on an absolute tear this year, winning three times in his seven starts on the PGA Tour and rising to World No. 1 with a victory at the Genesis Invitational last month. Last week, the Spaniard had his worst result of the season finishing T-39 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, his first finish outside the top 8 since the Tour Championship in August.
