Jon Rahm Expected To Exit LIV Golf

▪

Jon Rahm is expected to depart LIV Golf following the conclusion of the 2026 season. The development follows months of uncertainty surrounding the league after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced earlier in the year that it would end its financial backing. New investors represented by BC partners have conditioned their financial involvement on retaining the league's marquee players, headlined by Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. League officials are reportedly resigned to losing Rahm, who signed a record three hundred million dollar contract to join the breakaway circuit in December 2023 and is reportedly owed up to one hundred fifty million dollars. Compounding the departure pressure, the DP World Tour announced it is unlikely to offer LIV Golf players conditional releases for major European events moving forward. Rahm, a two-time major champion and former world number one, has remained non-committal regarding his future in public statements. His potential exit coincides with league plans to cancel its season-ending Team Championship tournament in Michigan. Rahm would face immediate eligibility decisions should he choose to seek a return to the PGA Tour.
