{"id":1797,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/1797","headline":"Rahm open to Koepka-style penalties for a PGA Tour return","dek":"The two-time major champion says he has not yet discussed a path back with the Tour and plans to play the DP World Tour for now.","body":"Jon Rahm says he would take the same deal Brooks Koepka got to rejoin the PGA Tour, penalties and all. Speaking Tuesday ahead of the Abu Dhabi Aldar Golf Championship on the DP World Tour, Rahm was blunt about his willingness. \"Most likely, yeah,\" he said. \"Why not? Yeah, but it's a big if. I seriously doubt I get offered the same deal that Brooks did. But yeah, if I got offered exactly the same penalties as him, I probably would do it, yes.\"\n\nKoepka was the first and only player to use the PGA Tour's returning member program back in January, and it came with real strings attached: no player equity program eligibility for five years, no FedExCup bonus money this year, and a $5 million donation agreement.\n\nRahm left LIV Golf last month after five years as the league's top earner, taking home more than $100 million beyond his initial contract. He says he has not yet had a conversation with the PGA Tour about a possible return. Until that changes, his plan is to spend the season on the DP World Tour, where he is now competing at Yas Links as part of the Tour Playoffs.","published_at":"2026-11-03T17:34:02.646896+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"Jon Rahm Open to Koepka-Style Deal to Return to PGA Tour","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/jon-rahm-liv-golf-koepka-deal-return-pga-tour/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm would accept Brooks Koepka-like terms for PGA Tour return","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-accept-brooks-koepka-125656565.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Jon Rahm: Willing to take penalties for potential PGA Tour return","url":"https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/50367937/take-penalties-potential-pga-tour-return"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm reveals if he’d take the same deal as Brooks Koepka to re-join to the PGA Tour today","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-reveals-d-same-090000359.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm Open to Koepka-Style Deal to Return to PGA Tour","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-open-koepka-style-154442741.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Jon Rahm is hoping for a PGA Tour return in 2027, will accept penalties","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7750657/2026/11/03/jon-rahm-pga-tour-dp-world-tour-liv/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm breaks silence on PGA Tour return, explains LIV Golf exit","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-breaks-silence-pga-161506126.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rahm Accepts PGA Tour Ban To Return From LIV Golf","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rahm-accepts-pga-tour-ban-163500935.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Jon Rahm open to PGA Tour return if extended offer similar to one Brooks Koepka received","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/golf/news/jon-rahm-open-pga-tour-return-offer-brooks-koepka/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm Says He’d Accept Koepka’s Deal Today","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-says-d-accept-171642754.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rahm says he would be willing to pay the same price as Koepka.
