Rahm Rejects LIV 2.0 Terms as Separation Talks Continue

Jon Rahm will not take part in LIV Golf’s proposed LIV 2.0, his lawyer told a bankruptcy court hearing, saying the golfer had reviewed the terms and found them unacceptable. Rahm and the league are discussing a separation agreement, but it has not been finalized, leaving the timing and formal status of his departure unresolved. Lawyer John Beck said Rahm had independently reviewed the proposed terms and would not participate in the league’s next phase. The statement was made during proceedings related to LIV’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. Although reports describe discussions between Rahm’s representatives and LIV as advanced, the parties have not confirmed a completed agreement. LIV filed for Chapter 11 protection after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund said it would stop funding the league beyond the 2026 season. The league is seeking to establish a new operating model. Reports describe a possible financing package of about $300 million from BC Partners Credit, but characterize it as potential funding, not a finalized arrangement. The separation talks are taking place as LIV negotiates with players about the terms of its planned relaunch.
