Former world No. 1 Rahm reaches separation agreement with LIV Golf - TSN

Jon Rahm will give up a reported £75m owed to him by LIV Golf after reaching a separation agreement that will secure his exit from the league. The league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in September after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew its multibillion-dollar backing. Spaniard Rahm was listed as the organisation's top unsecured creditor when LIV filed for bankruptcy, with $7.4m (£5.5m) owed to him for the rest of the 2026 season alone. ESPN reported he is owed about $100m (£75m), external from the remainder of the $300m, (£222m) contract he signed when he left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf in December 2023. Despite LIV securing a possible $300m in financing from BC Partners Credit to try and move forward with 'LIV 2.0', Rahm has deemed the proposed terms are "unacceptable". Instead, he has waived his entire claim in order to have a "complete economic walk-away". However, he will take the rights to 'Legion XIII' - the name of the LIV team Rahm captained - although he will not be allowed to use it to make a team in TGL - the indoor high-tech golf league launched by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Per ESPN's Mark Schlabach, as part of Rahm's separation agreement with LIV Golf for the return of his exclusive name, image and likeness rights, the 31-year-old gave up the remainder of his $300 million deal. Schlabach noted that "it is believed that Rahm was owed more than $100 million over the remainder of his contract," which he signed in December 2023 after leaving the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf.

LIV Golf will be losing one of its biggest stars as it looks to reinvent itself after bankruptcy Jon Rahm will not be part of LIV Golf 2.0, leaving the golf league without one of its biggest stars and draws for potential investors as it goes through bankruptcy. Rahm's lawyer made the announcement during LIV Golf's bankruptcy hearing on Wednesday, stating Rahm "has independently reviewed the proposed terms of LIV 2.0 ... and has determined that those terms are unacceptable to him, and he will not be participating going forward," according to Front Office Sports. Immediately following the bankruptcy filing, in which Rahm is listed as the top unsecured creditor with more than $7 million owed to him for the third quarter of 2026 alone, Rahm stated that he was "more than willing to fulfill" his contract with LIV 1.0. However, the revamped league will not be honoring those contracts, and the new offer on the table, which included an ownership stake, is not something Rahm is interested in. He will now leave LIV Golf and explore his options elsewhere.
