Jon Rahm is uncertain about his PGA Tour future after exiting LIV Golf, noting his path back is complicated and unlikely to match the deal given to Brooks Koepka, though he would accept similar penalties. He left LIV Golf after deeming its relaunch terms "unacceptable" while the league faced Chapter 11 bankruptcy after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund withdrew $5bn (£3.7bn) support. Rahm will join the DP World Tour in 2027 and faces a one‑year PGA Tour suspension before eligibility.
In early 2026, Rahm declined the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program offered to him, Bryson De Chambeau, Cameron Smith and Brooks Koepka; only Koepka signed, paying $5m (£3.7m) to charity and forfeiting equity for five years. Rahm says he does not know if a similar option will be available to him. He reflected positively on his three years with LIV Golf, citing good golf and experience, but disliked the shift away from team golf.
He remains open to a PGA Tour return if a comparable arrangement is offered.
