The split between Jon Rahm of Spain and LIV Golf is imminent.


AP reported on October 16 (Korea time) that Rahm, through his attorneys, had filed an agreement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey stating that he would no longer compete in LIV Golf. A judge is expected to approve it on November 5.

The agreement states that Rahm will have no further obligations to compete for LIV Golf and will not be bound by its regulations, team rules, or policies. It also emphasizes that Rahm may sign with or join any tour, league, or sponsor without notifying LIV Golf or seeking its consent.


Rahm has chosen the DP World Tour's Abu Dhabi Championship, which begins on November 5, as his first event after leaving LIV Golf.



Rahm is a former world No. 1 who won the Masters and the U.S. Open. After claiming 11 career victories on the PGA Tour, he made a high-profile move to LIV Golf in late 2023. He has also earned four victories on LIV Golf.
