Jon Rahm made the decision to leave the PGA Tour and join LIV Golf in December 2023.
Rahm received a huge signing-on fee from LIV Golf, believed to be in the region of $400-500 million.
However, many believe that the Spaniard made a big mistake in joining LIV during the prime years of his career.
What action, if any, should be taken against Bryson DeChambeau over his behaviour at The Open?
He even reportedly threatened to call the President…
In many ways, those who criticized his decision from a competitiveness perspective have been proven right.
The man from Spain has not won a major since joining LIV, and has just one top-5 finish to his name in 11 starts in the four biggest events on the golfing calendar.
Rahm struggled once again in the majors in 2026, aside from his runner-up finish at the PGA Championship.
But even then at Aronimink, he never had a real chance of winning on the back nine.
Now, with LIV facing financial difficulties following the news that Saudi Arabia’s PIF will be withdrawing their funding from the league at the end of the season, Rahm faces an uncertain future.
Jon Rahm’s response when asked if he expects to be playing on LIV Golf in 2027
Rahm addressed the media on Tuesday ahead of LIV Golf UK this week.
The Spaniard was asked whether he has received any clarity about his future with LIV Golf.
“Yes. Well, we’re in contact with them. We know a lot of what’s going on, yeah. Not that I can share with you guys right now,“ he replied.
“I’m always optimistic. I play a game for a living. I can’t really be too upset about how things are going in life. Even though I’m very frustrated on the course very often, off the course I’m very different to what a lot of people think.“
Finally, he was asked whether he expects to be playing on LIV Golf in 2027.
“I’m not going to share anything that I can’t share with you guys right now,“ the 31-year-old replied.
Rahm definitely had his poker face on during his LIV Golf press conference on Tuesday, and we probably won’t actually know until next year where he will be playing his golf.
Jon Rahm reflects on his Open Championship
There was a point last week at Royal Birkdale when Rahm was right in the thick of things.
However, a poor weekend left him in a tie for 46th and now he has delivered his verdict on his performance.
“Well, first day at Birkdale was one of the most comfortable rounds I’ve had in a long time tee to green, and Friday as well,“ he said.
How would you solve golf’s growing problem with free drops from TIO’s?
Scottie Scheffler was involved in a controversial incident at The Open…
“I played really good golf. I just couldn’t hole the putts but still in good position. On the weekend starting the way I did both days, it’s just a glass of cold water to the face, and having to play catch-up the rest of the day on a golf course that was playing trickier and trickier every day, it’s not easy at all.
“If there was an overall topic for the week, it was just I simply couldn’t hole enough putts. I think I did a lot of good things, and just not seeing the ball go in did get a little frustrating, as it would for anybody, and then on Sunday starting with a double and finishing with a double, it’s just killer. Having three doubles on the weekend is going to kill you.
“Bogeys are okay, and if I had made bogeys instead of triples, it would have been an all-right finish, but it ended up costing me too much.
“Overall, well, each week was a very different experience. I wouldn’t call it a successful major season whatsoever. Had a great week at Aronimink but just couldn’t get it done. I played too bad on Sunday.“
