Jon Rahm Still Has No Update on His LIV Golf Contract Status

Jon Rahm said Tuesday he has no new information on his LIV Golf future, telling reporters at Wentworth ahead of this week's BMW PGA Championship that "there's a long legal process" still to play out before he can address his standing with the circuit.

Where does Rahm's LIV contract stand?

Rahm has said previously he remains willing to honor his existing LIV contract, referred to as LIV 1.0, while stopping short of committing to a rebooted LIV 2.0. The league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week after the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, its primary financial backer, withdrew support; Rahm is reportedly still owed $150 million under his current deal. Should a LIV 2.0 launch under new backer BC Partners, a private equity firm planning a 10-event schedule, players who join would take an equity stake in the tour rather than the previous guaranteed contracts.

Asked directly what would need to change for him to leave, Rahm declined to give specifics, citing the pending legal process and his focus on the season's final events in the Middle East. He said he expects to have more clarity once the current season concludes.

Is Rahm involved in LIV's business decisions?

Rahm said he has largely stayed out of discussions shaping LIV's next iteration, contrasting his approach with players such as Bryson DeChambeau, who he said has taken a bigger role.

I don't think I'm suited for that line of work.

Rahm was also asked whether LIV's uncertain future creates an opening for the DP World Tour, which is set to resume fining and suspending members who play LIV events now that LIV 1.0 has ended. Several LIV players have entered DP World Tour Q-School, and Rahm said the circuit could use the moment to strengthen itself, particularly as the PGA Tour prepares its own competitive overhaul beginning in 2028.
