What Jon Rahm will now tell LIV Golf after the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program offer

Add as preferred source on Google

Jon Rahm was the last superstar player to leave the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf way back in December 2023.

When Rahm defected from the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf just over two years ago, it felt like the landscape of professional golf was about to change forever.

One more big-name signing and there could have been a mass exodus from the PGA Tour.

But that never happened. Over the past two years, the PGA Tour has gone from strength to strength while LIV has continued its slow and painful decline into obscurity.

The final blow came when Brooks Koepka completed his return to the PGA Tour on Monday.

Jon Rahm is also eligible to return to the PGA Tour, as well as Bryson DeChambeau and Cam Smith under the newly formed ‘returning member program’.

What Jon Rahm will tell LIV Golf after the PGA Tour’s offer

Rahm is one of the best players in the world.

If the PGA Tour manages to tempt him back from LIV, it would have huge ramifications for the Saudi-backed league.

When he’s on top form, he is easily as good as any other golfer on the planet.

But could his days with LIV be numbered? Or will Rahm stand firm and reject the PGA Tour’s olive branch?

According to Ten Golf, Rahm has no intention of taking advantage of the ‘returning member program’.

It is claimed that ‘Rahm is staying with LIV Golf’.

Jon Rahm to hand LIV Golf a major boost

If true, that is a major boost for the Saudi-backed outfit.

If LIV are to have any chance of surviving, they simply cannot allow Jon Rahm or Bryson DeChambeau to return to the PGA Tour.

With Koepka having left to return to the PGA Tour, it really does feel like LIV Golf are on the ropes right now.

It will be crucial for LIV Golf that Rahm tees it up in Riyadh next month.

If LIV manages to hold on to their best players until the PGA Tour’s ‘returning member program’ February 2nd deadline, there will still be hope for them.

Rahm is pivotal to LIV’s hopes of a successful and sustainable future, so the latest news will be greeted with great cheer at the Saudi-backed outfit’s headquarters.
