Jon Rahm will play his first DP World Tour event since leaving LIV Golf in early November.

Just last week, Jon Rahm made it clear that he would not be joining LIV 2.0. Now, the two-time major champion is set to make his first start since leaving the upstart league he joined in late 2023. Rahm has committed to play next month’s Abu Dhabi Championship, the second-to-last event of the DP World Tour season. The news came one day after that tour made a major anti-LIV move of its own. Here’s what you need to know. Jon Rahm to play Abu Dhabi Championship on DP World TourOn Wednesday, in court for LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Rahm’s lawyers declared that the terms laid out by LIV for the future of the tour were “unacceptable,” and that Rahm would “not be participating” in LIV 2.0 in 2027. With his LIV Golf career suddenly over, and an immediate PGA Tour return impossible, Rahm’s only realistic plan was to start playing the DP World Tour full time. The only question was when. Now, Rahm is officially set to make the first start of the rest of his golfing life.

What's next for Jon Rahm? Examining PGA Tour, DP World Tour options amid two-time major winner's LIV Golf exit - CBS Sports

Where will Rahm play golf in 2027 and beyond, and what will he need to do in order to participate? It's been a tumultuous few weeks for Jon Rahm. Heck, it's been a tumultuous few years. The two-time major champion made it clear over the last month that he wanted nothing to do with LIV Golf (and whatever 2.0 version of the golf league will be developed), and now he has negotiated his exit and the dissolution of his nine-figure contract. Rahm on Wednesday agreed to forfeit his claim to whatever sum LIV Golf owes him in exchange for his name, image and likeness rights. He was previously listed as the circuit's largest creditor with a $7.5 million balance. As such, the futures of Rahm and LIV Golf are both hanging in the balance. Perhaps it is a twist of irony that, during a period of golf in which no one player proved bigger than the game itself, Rahm's status is inherently more interesting than that of LIV Golf. Players under contract have until Oct. 25 to commit to LIV Golf 2.0.
