Jon Rahm Gives No 2027 Plan as LIV Funding Crisis Puts 9-Figure Deal at Risk

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 8

Summary

  • Jon Rahm said he has "no updates" on LIV Golf's future and would not commit to a 2027 playing plan or a PGA Tour return ahead of this week's Irish Open.
  • LIV's uncertainty deepened after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund ended funding with the 2026 season, leaving players unclear where they will compete next year.
  • Rahm said he is still willing to fulfill his LIV 1.0 contract, but reports of a possible bankruptcy filing have cast doubt over whether his nine-figure deal will be fully paid.
  • Scott O'Neil has said a new investor is in place for a proposed "LIV 2.0," yet neither that structure nor any pathway back to the PGA Tour for defectors has been defined.
