PGA Championship: Jon Rahm trying to focus on his game, not his uncertain future with LIV Golf
Jon Rahm will tee off with Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth in the first two rounds this week at Aronimink.
Even with LIV Golf’s status up in the air, Jon Rahm isn’t looking back with any regret. And ahead of the PGA Championship this week at Aronimink Golf Club, he doesn’t really want to get into it much, either. “That is for me to know, and that’s about that,” Rahm said plainly, with a bit of a smirk, on Tuesday when he was asked what he learned from his decision to join LIV Golf.

com/Oow3X3TZdO — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) May 12, 2026 Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has announced that it is pulling funding from LIV Golf after the 2026 campaign. The status of the startup golf league, which threw the sport into turmoil for a while at its inception back in 2022, is now very much up in the air. Rahm was undoubtedly one of the biggest names to make the jump from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf when he did so at the end of the 2023 season.
He reportedly received $300 million over multiple years to do so, too. But that choice to move came months after the Tour and the PIF agreed to a framework agreement for their merger of sorts. But getting the game back together, he said Tuesday, wasn’t a factor in his move.
