The Saudi Public Investment Fund is withdrawing funding for LIV Golf after this season, and the tour is currently scrambling to secure new investment for next year. Meanwhile, big names like Bryson DeChambeau are formulating an exit plan. Rahm, however, looks to be stuck.
He was asked whether he could get out of his current contract with LIV, and he replied, “I don’t see many ways out. ” Not a glowing endorsement for the league, and a sign that Rahm could be the last one in the building as it collapses around him. That has set up a “delicious” situation for Rahm to be trapped in, in the eyes of some PGA Tour fans.

He was previously the only LIV player to reject a tour deal that would have allowed him to maintain his LIV membership. Rahm said he did not want to play the six events the DP World Tour demanded in this deal, but he would be happy to pay his fines like the rest of the players who accepted it, as long as he only has to play four times.
