World No. 1 Jon Rahm will end his turbulent year by withdrawing from the DP World Tour Championship, preventing the chance for the Spaniard to claim the Race to Dubai for the second time in three years.
Rahm last played competitively a month ago, missing the cut at the Andalucia Masters and said, “This is the first time in my life that I don’t want to see a golf club,” after his Friday round. Four weeks later, the 27-year-old decided to continue his rest after a year in which he was forced to withdraw from the Memorial, where he held a 6-shot lead after three days, and Olympics due to a COVID+ but also notched his first major win and became a first-time father.
