## Key points

- Rahm says he rejected LIV’s planned direction.
- LIV lost Saudi backing after more than $5bn invested.
- He would consider a PGA Tour return despite a suspension.

## Summary

Jon Rahm says he left LIV Golf because he opposed the direction planned for its “LIV 2.0” relaunch, which followed the loss of Saudi backing and a bankruptcy filing. His departure adds to uncertainty over the league’s future and raises questions about whether he could return to the PGA Tour.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund had invested more than $5bn before withdrawing its support in April; LIV has since secured a possible $300m in financing. Rahm joined in 2023 for a reported £222m deal and reportedly gave up about $100m in remaining contract value to leave. He retains DP World Tour membership and says he would consider a PGA Tour return even if it meant serving a one-year suspension.
