Jon Rahm is leaving LIV Golf, according to a report by The Athletic, a move described as a significant blow to the Saudi-backed tour as it faces bankruptcy proceedings. Rahm, the Spaniard and former world No. 1 who joined LIV in late 2023 for a reported nine-figure deal, had been one of its marquee names, and his departure raises fresh doubts about the tour's funding and long-term viability.
Why now: One of golf's biggest stars abandoning a bankrupt tour signals a major shake-up of professional golf's fractured landscape.
