Following LIV Golf's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in New Jersey, lawyers for Jon Rahm announced that the two-time major champion will not participate in the proposed restructuring known as 'LIV 2.0.' Rahm’s legal team characterized the new terms as 'unacceptable' and is currently negotiating a consensual separation agreement from the league. The restructuring comes after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) ended its financial commitment to the tour, leading to significant layoffs, vendor lawsuits, and a proposed shift toward a 10-event league in 2027 funded by private equity firm BC Partners.
