Rahm rejects proposed LIV Golf 2.0 terms
The golfer’s lawyer told a bankruptcy hearing that Rahm will leave LIV Golf and consider other options. His next move is unconfirmed.
Jon Rahm will not join LIV Golf’s proposed second iteration after rejecting its terms, his lawyer told the league’s bankruptcy hearing. The lawyer said Rahm had independently reviewed the offer and considered it unacceptable.
Rahm is listed as a creditor owed more than $7 million for the third quarter of 2026, according to the court reporting cited by CBS Sports. The figure has not been independently verified in the material available.
Rahm had previously said he was willing to fulfil his contract with LIV Golf. The league’s bankruptcy filing has raised questions about player agreements, while the proposed LIV Golf 2.0 terms would not honour those contracts.
He will leave LIV Golf and explore other options. No future tour or return pathway has been confirmed.
LIV’s financial backing and longer-term plans have also shifted: Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund said it would end its backing after the 2026 season, and the league later secured an agreement with an unnamed lead investor for 2027 and beyond.
