## Key points

- Rahm says he would probably accept Koepka-like penalties to rejoin the PGA Tour.
- Koepka’s return deal included a $5 million charity donation.
- A one-year suspension may be another route back for Rahm.

## Summary

Jon Rahm says he would probably accept penalties similar to those Brooks Koepka faced if that allowed him to return to the PGA Tour. Speaking publicly for the first time since leaving LIV Golf, Rahm also cited uncertainty about the circuit’s future and changes to its team format as factors in his decision.

Rahm is playing this week’s Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship and plans to compete on the DP World Tour in 2027 and in all four major championships. Koepka returned to the PGA Tour under a programme that required him to forgo player equity for five years, miss the 2026 FedEx Cup bonus programme and donate $5 million to charity. Rahm said he doubts he would receive the same offer; another possible route could involve a one-year suspension, as Patrick Reed took.
