Jon Rahm is not happy with his sporting life at the moment. The LIV Golf League‘s multi-million purchase is unfamiliar with the competitive circuit, isn’t really getting into his stride as a golfer either, hasn’t played a role in the majors so far this year – tied 45th at the Masters Tournament, missed the cut at the PGA Championship – and now even has to fear for his start at the US Open this week on the No. 2 course at Pinehurst.

Jon Rahm’s US Open 2024 in jeopardy?
Rahm, now number seven in the world, is suffering from inflammation in his left foot and had to pull out of the LIV event at the weekend in Houston/Texas during the second round as a result. The problems had already become apparent on the opening day; according to the LIV, the two-time major winner from Spain probably has a cut between his toes, which has apparently become infected. However, the bookmakers still have Rahm at 16-1 odds to win his second US Open triumph after Torrey Pines in 2021.
