Jon Rahm doesn’t see ‘many ways out’ of lucrative multi-year LIV Golf contract
The Spaniard also said he has settled his long-running dispute with DP World Tour that allows him to play on the European circuit this year
Two-time major champion Jon Rahm revealed he has several years remaining on his LIV Golf contract and doesn’t “see many ways out” after agreeing to a new deal that allows him to play on the DP World Tour.
The 31-year-old Spaniard, a former world number one, spoke Tuesday ahead of this week’s LIV Golf Virginia event at Trump National Washington.
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which had promised long-term support for the series, said last week it will pull funding after the 2026 campaign concludes, plunging the upstart circuit into uncertainty over its future beyond this year.
But while the vexed question of how LIV players may return to the PGA Tour has dominated golf in recent weeks, Rahm said he remained locked into his lucrative contract.
“I have several years on my contract left and I’m pretty sure they did a pretty good job when they drafted that, so I don’t see many ways out,” Rahm said.
“As of right now, I’m not really thinking about it since we still have a season to play and majors to compete for. So it’s not something I want to think about just yet.”
