Rahm, 26, tested positive for COVID-19 on June 5, during the third round of the Memorial Tournament.

The Spaniard led by six strokes after carding an 8-under-par 64 in the third round, however he was required to withdraw from the tournament due to PGA Tour and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocols.

Rahm was required to isolate for 10 days, however because he was asymptomatic, he was able to cut that short due to the two negative tests.

Rahm has five PGA Tour titles, with the first coming at Torrey Pines at the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open.
