Colt Knost has seen enough. The PGA Tour announcer and former Tour player made a direct prediction about Jon Rahm on Thursday, and the timing, coming alongside reports of LIV Golf’s imminent bankruptcy, makes it hard to ignore.

Knost posted on X on July 31, responding to a Flushing It Golf report that multiple LIV insiders expect the company to file for bankruptcy in the coming weeks.

Players with outstanding contract payments have already been approached with equity offers, per Flushing It Golf. Knost’s response was pointed.

“This will be Rahm once the final putt drops in the 2026 LIV season. First stop Ponte Vedra!” Knost wrote on X, per his post on July 31.

Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is the home of PGA Tour headquarters. The implication was clear. Knost believes Rahm will return to the PGA Tour the moment LIV’s 2026 season ends.

Rahm signed with LIV in December 2023 in a deal reportedly worth more than $300 million. He has since won the 2026 Masters and finished tied for second at The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in July.

LIV’s primary backer, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, announced earlier this year it would withdraw funding after the 2026 season.

The league has been seeking between $250 million and $350 million from outside investors and is reportedly running on loans to complete its remaining events.

Rahm addressed LIV’s future before The Open. “I know Scott [O’Neil, LIV’s CEO] is doing a lot of work trying to find developers, and there’s many ways around that,” he said, per AOL. “There have been many different avenues to try to make it different, what we’ve had till now.”

LIV golfer Rahm’s Path Back to the PGA Tour, What It Would Actually Take

A return for Rahm would not be straightforward. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp has made clear that players who left for LIV will face consequences, saying “there were rules, and they were broken,” and that “with rules comes accountability.”

Rahm’s situation is particularly thorny. His defection shortly after the Framework Agreement was announced in 2023 drew significant resentment from Tour members and officials.

Rolapp has noted that not every LIV player would be viewed equally in reunification discussions.

“We’re interested in having the best players who can help our tour. Not every player can do that,” Rolapp said.
