World number one Jon Rahm pulled out of The Players ahead of his second round due to illness at TPC Sawgrass.
Rahm, who was aiming for a fourth victory in 2023 and a sixth victory in 11 world starts, withdrew from the PGA Tour’s flagship event less than an hour before his scheduled start time at 5:56 p.m. (12:56 GMT).
