Jon Rahm parts ways with LIV Golf, walks away from contract money
Original: Jon Rahm reaches separation agreement with LIV Golf, surrenders rest of $300 million-plus contract
Jon Rahm has reached a separation agreement with LIV Golf, giving up the remainder of his contract worth more than $300 million. The Spaniard joined the Saudi-backed circuit in late 2023 in one of golf's most expensive signings. His exit is a major blow to LIV Golf and adds fresh uncertainty over the league's future and the direction of men's professional golf.
Why now: A top star abandoning one of the biggest contracts in golf raises questions about LIV Golf's stability and the sport's ongoing civil war.
