Tokyo Olympics 2020: World number 1 golfer Jon Rahm withdraws from Games after testing positive for COVID-19

World number 1 golfer Jon Rahm withdraws from the Tokyo Olympics Games after testing positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.

Rahm, who stormed to victory at the US Open in June, has tested positive for the second time in two months.

The Spanish Olympic Committee on Sunday confirmed that he returned a positive sample after undergoing mandatory testing following his recent participation in the British Open.

In June, a 26-year-old Spaniard was forced to withdraw from the PGA Tour’s Memorial Tournament while defending a six-shot lead heading into the final round after returning a positive test.

As being reported he had been vaccinated shortly before contracting the virus.
