Jon Rahm Says He Won't Be Part of the Next Version of LIV Golf
Rahm’s lawyer said he reviewed LIV 2.0 and found the terms unacceptable as the league seeks a $300 million financing deal and player equity.
- On Wednesday, Jon Rahm's attorney, John Beck, announced in U.S. Bankruptcy Court that the golfer will not participate in the proposed "LIV 2.0" league, deeming the terms "unacceptable."
- LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 8, 2026, after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew funding; the league now seeks to relaunch with up to $300 million from BC Partners Credit.
- As the league's top unsecured creditor with a $7.5 million claim, Rahm is negotiating a formal separation agreement. Beck stated both parties aim to finalize terms by October 15, with a November 5 court hearing if needed.
- Rahm's departure deals a significant blow to LIV's revival plans, which depend on securing player commitments by October 25 to unlock BC Partners' funding. The league struggles to retain top talent amid restructuring.
- The PGA Tour has indicated no current plans to reopen its Returning Member Program, leaving Rahm's 2027 path uncertain. His immediate focus remains DP World Tour commitments and his family.
