Spanish golfer Jon Rahm completed his divorce from LIV Golf on October 15, 2026, agreeing to a deal that allows him to walk away from the remainder of his $300 million contract with the tour. Rahm was identified as LIV’s largest unsecured creditor when the organization filed for bankruptcy in September, with claims totaling $7.5 million, although reports suggest he is owed more than $100 million.
As part of the agreement, LIV returned Rahm’s exclusive name, image, and likeness rights, including his nickname 'Rahmbo' and the name of his LIV team, 'Legion XIII.' Rahm, who held the No. 1 ranking among golfers for 52 weeks from 2020 to 2021, won the Masters and U.S. Open before joining LIV in 2023, where he secured the individual championship in all three years, earning $107 million in on-course earnings.
The separation agreement confirms that Rahm will not participate in LIV’s future endeavors. His attorney, John Beck, stated during LIV’s bankruptcy hearing on October 7 that Rahm found the proposed terms of 'LIV 2.0' unacceptable and will not be involved moving forward.
As LIV works on its future, Rahm's plans remain uncertain. He is scheduled to compete in the DP World Tour’s Abu Dhabi Championship from November 5 to 8, but there is currently no pathway for his return to the PGA Tour. Rahm declined to participate in the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program last year, which allowed former LIV player Brooks Koepka to rejoin under financially disadvantageous terms. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp confirmed that the program will not be offered again.
