Jon Rahm Will Be Free to Leave LIV and Pursue Other Opportunities Under Separation Agreement
Rahm gives up his LIV Golf claims and team stake as the league restores his exclusive name, image and likeness rights.
- On Wednesday, Jon Rahm reached a separation agreement with LIV Golf, regaining exclusive control of his name, image, and likeness rights in exchange for releasing all monetary and economic claims against the league.
- The agreement follows LIV Golf's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in September after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew financial backing, formally ending the 31-year-old's tenure and service obligations.
- Rahm retains the 'Rahmbo' and 'Legion XII' marks, though he is prohibited from using the Legion XIII name in other leagues like TGL in ways suggesting a current affiliation with LIV Golf.
- Attorney John Beck confirmed Rahm rejected the proposed LIV 2.0 terms as 'unacceptable to him,' and the golfer is scheduled to compete in the Abu Dhabi Championship on Nov. 5-8.
- PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp has indicated the tour currently has no plans to reopen the Returning Member Program, leaving Rahm's future competitive destination uncertain after the program previously facilitated Brooks Koepka's return.
