BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Spaniard Jon Rahm enjoyed plenty of success on the European Tour last year but the world number one said on Tuesday he may not defend any of his titles because of the Covid-19 outbreak.
"Right now, I just don't see myself going to Europe," Rahm said at TPC Boston."It's rough flying public, having to have a flight, a mask on for 10-plus hours, just doesn't sound very good to me. Doesn't sound healthy at all, so I don't know what I'm going to be doing." He is also the reigning champion of the Irish Open, which has been rescheduled for Sept 24-27, and the DP World Tour Championship, which is slated for Dec 10-13 in Dubai.
"Right now my main thought is I don't know if I'm going to be able to go to Spain and see my family at Christmas. That's my bigger thing right now," said Rahm.
