Rahm Sticks With Long LIV Deal as League Courts New Backers After Saudi Pullout

Investor talks under tight contracts now shape LIV's future.

Overview

  • At a Tuesday news conference in Virginia, Jon Rahm said he has several years left on his LIV contract and sees few ways out.
  • Rahm also said he settled fines with the DP World Tour, restoring his ability to play European events and keeping his Ryder Cup path open.
  • LIV CEO Scott O’Neil said the tour is finalizing a new business plan and fielding investor interest, with team franchises positioned as the core value.
  • Bryson DeChambeau signaled he would focus on his YouTube channel and play invitational events if LIV fails, adding he was told financing would run much longer and that his deal ends after this season.
  • Thomas Pieters said he will not return to the PGA Tour and noted players were paid around the Mexico event, while LIV has already postponed its June New Orleans stop as it reshapes operations after the PIF exit.
