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.

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.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
