Jon Rahm is focused on golf despite LIV Golf’s looming financial crisis. After signing a reported $300 million deal with LIV Golf in 2023, Rahm now finds himself at the center of the league’s financial uncertainty, seemingly unfazed.
While questions continue around LIV Golf’s future and his decision to move to the rebel tour, Rahm said he does not spend time revisiting past decisions or wondering what could have changed.
"Now, I would also say I've made a lot of decisions in my life, and I've never gone back thinking, Oh, had I known this again, I would do X and Y differently," said Rahm, as shared via TenGolf on YouTube.
"I could do that about 15 different golf shots on the golf course every single day. If I lived my life like that as a golfer, I would be a very pessimistic person,” added two-time major winner during the press conference at Aronimink Golf Club on Tuesday.
The uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf also comes nearly three years after the PGA Tour and LIV Golf announced a framework agreement on June 6, 2023. It aimed at bringing the rival circuits together under a new commercial structure.
The announcement came after months of legal disputes between both sides, with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan confirming plans to combine the tours’ commercial operations into a single entity.
However, the agreement never moved forward. Reports later stated that the process faced antitrust scrutiny from the United States Department of Justice after the announcement became public.
“So we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, and all we can do is learn from things that happen in the past, good and bad. Just to speculate on what could have been done, what could have been different doesn't really make much sense,” added the 31-year-old.
Rahm's remarks also came as LIV Golf faces uncertainty after reports stated that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund plans to end league funding following the 2026 season.
Jon Rahm keeps focus on golf amid LIV Golf uncertainty
As discussions around LIV Golf’s financial situation continue, Rahm indicated that dealing with the league’s business matters is not something he considers part of his responsibility.
“I think I said it last week, out of the few talents I have in my life, fixing a business is not one of them. I might be the worst person for that,” added the 11-time PGA Tour winner.
“So my job is to play golf, luckily. I'm decent at it.”
The Spaniard heads into the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club after winning two LIV Golf events earlier this season - in Hong Kong in March, and Mexico City in April.
He also recorded runner-up finishes in Riyadh, Adelaide, and South Africa during the opening stretch of the LIV campaign.
That run of results now brings Rahm into the season’s second major ranked No. 20 in the Official World Golf Ranking, where he is grouped alongside Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth for the opening rounds.

LIV Golf vs PGA Tour: How 2025 Has Treated Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler2025 showed golf’s great divide through two of its biggest stars. Jon Rahm thrived on LIV Golf with flawless consistency, a second straight season-long title, and another massive financial year. Scottie Scheffler answered on the PGA Tour with six wins, dominant major performance,s and record bonus payouts. Together, they defined the split era with contrasting styles and equally powerful seasons. Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire/ImagoScottie Scheffler put together one of the most profitable seasons in modern PGA Tour history. Across 20 tournaments, he collected 6 victories: The CJ Cup, PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, The Open Championship, BMW Championship, and Procore Championship, along with a steady run of top-10 finishes, and strong play in every major stretch of the year. Wins at the PGA Championship, The Open, the Memorial Tournament, and the BMW Championship powered his total to $27,659,553 in official earnings. James Marsh/ShutterstockJon Rahm’s 2025 season was built on steady, high-value results across LIV Golf. He recorded runner-up finishes in Riyadh, Chicago and Indianapolis and added another second place in Andalucía, supported by consistent top-10s in Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico City, and the United Kingdom. He earned more than $18,837,876 in official tournament earnings, even as he finished the year without an individual win. Oscar J.Barroso/ImagoScottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm both earned $18 million in season-long bonuses in 2025, but through completely different systems. Scheffler topped the PGA Tour’s revamped regular-season structure, collecting $10 million from the new FedEx Cup bonus and $8 million from the Comcast Top 10. Rahm matched that total by winning LIV Golf’s Individual Championship. Fred Kfoury III Icon Sportswire/ImagoUnder John's direction, Legion XIII claimed 4 regular-season team victories, Riyadh, Mexico City, Andalucía and the UK, and never finished outside the top 8 all year. That consistency carried them into the finale as the No. 1 seed, where they delivered again, winning the LIV Golf Team Championship in Michigan after a playoff against Crushers GC. Behind Rahm’s steadiness and structure, Legion XIII became the defining team force of the 2025 season. Ben Hsu/Icon Sportswire/ImagoRahm’s 2025 campaign was defined by elite steadiness: top-10 finishes in all 13 LIV events he played. His run included near-misses in Riyadh and Indianapolis, plus a $2.25M runner-up finish in Andalucía. That consistency delivered him the season-long Individual Championship for the second straight year, cementing his status as LIV’s most reliable performer. Rob Schumacher-USA TODAY NetworkScheffler delivered the most complete winning season on the PGA Tour in 2025. He claimed six victories, including THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, the Open, the BMW Championship, and the Procore Championship. Each win reinforced his grip on the world stage and showcased a level of control rarely seen in modern golf. John Adams/Icon Sportswire/ImagoScheffler turned consistency into a trademark, posting 17 top-10 finishes in 20 events, with every start resulting in a made cut. He finished runner-up twice, rarely fell outside contention, and ranked inside the top tier of nearly every statistical category. Week after week, Scheffler stood out as the PGA Tour’s most complete, pressure-proof force. John Angelillo/ImagoThe majors told two different stories in 2025. Scottie Scheffler delivered the year’s defining moments, winning both the PGA Championship and The Open with commanding performances. Jon Rahm didn’t claim a major but stayed firmly in the mix, finishing T14 at the Masters, T8 at the PGA Championship, and T7 at the U.S. Open. In a divided golf landscape, Scheffler brought the major glory while Rahm supplied the steadiness. Brett Davis/ImagoScottie Scheffler’s 2025 campaign showed complete command of the PGA Tour. He delivered 6 victories, 19 top tens, and perfect consistency in 20 starts. His season featured wins at the PGA Championship, The Open, the Memorial Tournament and the BMW Championship. Every result positioned him as the standout force on a tour reshaped by rising competition and evolving formats. Steve Roberts/ImagoScheffler’s success extended beyond the scorecard as major brands strengthened their ties with him throughout 2025. Nike, TaylorMade, Titleist, and TaylorMade Spider Tour X putters remained central to his equipment and apparel identity. Off the course, he represented Veritex Community Bank, Rolex, NetJet, and Turtlebox Audio.

The entire roster, including Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt, and Tom McKibbin, now competes in custom Greyson kits. Josex Manuel Alvarez Rey/ImagoJon Rahm’s LIV record shows dominance through consistency rather than individual wins. He secured the season-long Individual Championship in both 2024 and 2025, collecting an $18 million bonus for each year, yet registered zero individual victories in 2025. Rahm also improved his team ledger, moving from a 2024 runner-up finish to decisively winning the 2025 Team Championship with Legion XIII.
