Jon Rahm is ready to do whatever it takes to help save LIV Golf in an important bankruptcy update.
Jon Rahm has hinted that he might personally step in to help LIV Golf survive, as the league faces money troubles. With only two months left in the 2026 LIV Golf season, the league needs to find new investors quickly to keep going.
Back in April, it was announced that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) would stop supporting LIV Golf after 2026. Since then, LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil has been trying to raise about $300 million (£224.3m) to keep the league running next year. There are even talks that the league might prepare for bankruptcy in the U.S.
If LIV Golf does shut down, it would affect some of its biggest players like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm. But to prevent that, Rahm seems open to possibly investing his own money to help out.
“I know Scott is working hard to find investors and there are many options,” Rahm said when asked about players putting money into the league. “They haven’t asked me yet, so I don’t know if they will, but there are different ways to make it work.”
When asked if he would consider investing, Rahm added, “Something I’ve learned is never say never. I’m not saying no to anything that might happen in the future.”
Along with Rahm and DeChambeau, 2017 Masters winner Sergio Garcia is also playing in LIV Golf after leaving the PGA Tour in 2022 for the Saudi-backed league.
With LIV Golf’s future uncertain, Garcia plans to return to the DP World Tour in 2027 after a year away. He recently played in the BMW International Open in Germany.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’m trying my best,” Garcia said. “At 46, I can’t play 30 events a year, but I’ll try to play a few and do my best.”
Even so, Garcia is hopeful LIV Golf will find the funding it needs and keep going next year.
“It looks good,” he said. “They’ve had many talks with potential investors, and I’m 99% sure LIV will continue. It will just change a bit from the past four years. I’m very confident it will keep going. We’ll see how it all turns out.”
According to bunkered.co.uk, the new LIV Golf plan being shown to investors would cut the schedule down to 10 events instead of 14, with five ‘Team Majors’ and five ‘Signature Events.’
