Jon Rahm leaving LIV Golf, attorney reveals, dealing blow to bankrupt league

Jon Rahm is set to depart LIV Golf as the organization undergoes bankruptcy proceedings and attempts to pivot toward a new business model. His legal representative, John Beck, confirmed that the golfer rejected the terms proposed for the league's upcoming iteration, citing them as unacceptable.

While the organization navigates Chapter 11, the status of Rahm's existing contract remains a point of contention, with the player currently listed as a major creditor owed roughly $100 million. Future playing opportunities for Rahm are uncertain, as PGA Tour leadership has maintained a strict stance against admitting athletes with ongoing ties to competing circuits.

Meanwhile, other figures like Bryson DeChambeau have reached free agency, and Sergio Garcia has secured a release from his obligations, further complicating the tour's restructuring efforts.
