Jon Rahm Says He Won’t Be Part of the Next Version of LIV Golf
Rahm’s lawyer said he reviewed the proposed terms and found them unacceptable as LIV seeks a new investor-backed structure.
- On Wednesday, golfer Jon Rahm announced he will not participate in LIV Golf's restructured league after independently reviewing the proposed terms and finding them unacceptable. His lawyer, John Beck, confirmed the decision during a bankruptcy court hearing.
- LIV Golf faces restructuring after the Saudi Public Investment Fund withdrew its funding, prompting the league to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September. The tour now plans to launch LIV 2.0 as its next iteration.
- Rahm concludes his LIV tenure as a two-time individual champion, having earned more than $100 million in on-course earnings. He also led Legion XIII to consecutive Team Championships during his three years with the league.
- LIV and Rahm's representatives are in advanced discussions over a consensual separation agreement, hoping to finalize terms before October 15. If negotiations fail, Rahm intends to press his formal objection to any rejection motion at the November 5 hearing.
- Rahm's future career path remains uncertain, though the two-time major champion retains eligibility for all four majors in 2027 thanks to his Masters victory. He must also fulfill remaining DP World Tour commitments as he resolves his separation from LIV.
