Jon Rahm Says He Has No Regrets Over 2023 LIV Move as Tour Faces Post-2026 Uncertainty

Jon Rahm said ahead of this week’s PGA Championship that he does not regret leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf in late 2023, even as LIV faces questions about its future after 2026.
31-year-old Rahm also said he never believed his switch would be the move that reunified men’s golf, rejecting the idea that he joined LIV to tip merger talks.
LIV’s worsening picture centers on a funding crisis and uncertainty over whether the circuit can keep operating beyond the 2026 season, while the PGA Tour has regained leverage after initially being caught off guard.
Rahm has already kept a path open by arranging with the DP World Tour to remain eligible for future events, as other LIV players also weigh their options and Bryson DeChambeau’s contract expires after this season.
The comments underscore how a move once seen as a seismic blow to the PGA Tour now sits in a very different landscape, with top players’ next steps likely to shape any reunification of the sport.
