Two-time major champion Jon Rahm said Tuesday he is willing to accept the same penalties Brooks Koepka faced to return to the PGA Tour, though he doubts he will be offered the same deal. Rahm, who left LIV Golf after declining its 2.0 format, has not yet spoken with the tour due to the recent birth of his fourth child. If banned for a year like Patrick Reed, Rahm said he would play the DP World Tour in 2027 as a backup.
Koepka returned in January under a Returning Member Program that required a $5 million charity donation, forfeiture of equity shares, and exclusion from the $100 million FedEx Cup bonus. PGA Tour commissioner Brian Rolapp called the program a one-time window with no plans to repeat it. Rahm reportedly walked away from over $100 million in LIV contracts.
Meanwhile, Bryson De Chambeau suggested he might return to LIV if the league survives its Chapter 11 filing and secures its $300 million deal with BC Partners.
