"I am sad to confirm that I will not be
participating in the first TGL season," Rahm said in a social
media post.
"While I still think it's a great opportunity, right now it
would require a level of commitment I can't offer."
The new high-tech venture, featuring golf simulators, will
feature 18 of the world's best players competing as teams in a
purpose-built arena in Florida and its quick-fire format is
designed to appeal to younger audiences.
The PGA Tour are partners in the new competition while the likes
of Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, tennis players Serena and
Venus Williams and NBA greats LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal
are some of the celebrities to have invested in it.
Woods and McIlroy will both be involved as players along with
the likes of Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick,
Justin Rose and Justin Thomas.
