Jon Rahm stated he has not been asked to financially support LIV Golf but did not rule out the possibility in the future. LIV Golf's funding from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is set to end after the 2026 season, prompting the league to seek new investment, reportedly targeting $300 million. Rahm, preparing to play in the Genesis Scottish Open, expressed optimism about LIV's continuation and acknowledged the work of chief executive Scott O'Neill in finding new funding avenues.

Rahm's participation in the Scottish Open marks his return after a two-year absence, a decision influenced by schedule conflicts with LIV events. He highlighted the Scottish Open's value as preparation for The Open Championship, praising its links-style conditions. This year's event is co-sanctioned, making it more appealing for players aiming for major preparation.

The golfer also commented on potential PGA Tour schedule changes, including a revamped 2028 season with promotion and relegation. Rahm supports a more global focus and hopes for an elevated status for the Open de Espana, an event he has won multiple times, citing Spain's rich golfing history.
