Jon Rahm Set to Quit LIV Golf Over 'Unacceptable' Relaunch Terms

Jon Rahm is set to leave LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed breakaway circuit he joined in 2023, after concluding that the terms offered for the series' proposed relaunch are unacceptable.

The decision is a serious blow to a league that has relied on marquee names to give it credibility since it began drawing established players away from the traditional tours. Rahm, a former Masters champion and one of the most recognizable players in the game, has been among LIV's biggest signings. His exit would leave a significant hole in the lineup just as the organization looks to reshape its future.

The move also puts pressure on LIV to explain what it can offer to keep its biggest stars committed while it prepares to revamp the series. Further details on the terms in dispute and on Rahm's next steps were not immediately available.
