The tech-infused TGL golf league led by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy lost a marquee player Thursday when Masters champion Jon Rahm decided to remove himself from the 24-man roster.

The announcement comes as TGL has spent the week revealing the format and details of the 15-hole team matches, team names and which players are being assigned to various cities.
