Jon Rahm, a former world number one golfer, has decided to leave LIV Golf due to dissatisfaction with the proposed changes for LIV Golf 2.0, according to multiple sources. Rahm, who joined LIV Golf in 2023, expressed his concerns about the direction of the league and the uncertainty surrounding its future. He has not discussed a potential return to the PGA Tour but is open to the idea if offered similar terms as Brooks Koepka, who faced significant penalties for his return. Rahm plans to focus on the DP World Tour in 2027, expressing confidence in the tour's quality and his ability to perform well there. Lee Westwood, another prominent golfer, remains unsigned for LIV Golf's relaunch, citing unsuitability of the offered terms.
Rahm's departure from LIV Golf highlights a broader trend of high-profile players leaving the league amid financial and structural challenges. LIV Golf is currently restructuring under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, seeking new investment from BC Partners Capital after losing support from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
