During a Wednesday hearing in the league's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in New Jersey, Rahm's lawyer, John Beck of Dentons, LLP, said the two-time major champion has reviewed the terms of what the league is calling LIV 2.0 and decided he wants out.\n\n\"Rahm has independently reviewed the proposed terms of LIV 2.0, as the parties have been referring to it, and has determined that those terms are unacceptable as to him, and he will not be participating going forward in LIV 2.0,\" Beck said.\n\nRahm still has multiple years left on the contract he signed ahead of the 2024 season, and is reportedly still owed more than $100 million in future guarantees. The exact terms of the deal were never made public, but its total value was widely believed to run well into the nine figures, with some early reports pegging it above $300 million.\n\nHis attorney said the sides are working to finalize a separation agreement by Oct. 15. Losing Rahm marks a significant hit for a league that is already trying to rebuild itself out of bankruptcy.","published_at":"2026-10-08T19:17:55.251375+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"Jon Rahm Planning to Leave LIV Post-Bankruptcy, Lawyer Says","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/jon-rahm-planning-to-leave-liv-post-bankruptcy-lawyer-says/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm's lawyer says client will not return to LIV Golf","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahms-lawyer-says-client-163608162.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Rahm leaving LIV Golf in blow to future of bankrupt league","url":"https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/50126362/jon-rahm-leaving-liv-golf-blow-future-bankrupt-league"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Jon Rahm will not participate in LIV Golf 2.0: Lawyer says terms for new league are 'unacceptable to him'","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/golf/news/jon-rahm-out-for-liv-golf-2-unacceptable-terms/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rahm to leave LIV Golf over 'unacceptable' terms","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rahm-leave-liv-golf-over-162942105.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm leaving LIV Golf, attorney reveals, dealing blow to bankrupt league","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/golf/breaking-news/article/jon-rahm-leaving-liv-golf-attorney-reveals-dealing-blow-to-bankrupt-league-164606160.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm will not return to LIV Golf in 2027, lawyer says","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-not-return-liv-171816222.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm Planning to Leave LIV Post-Bankruptcy, Lawyer Says","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-planning-leave-liv-171443245.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Golf star Rahm quitting LIV tour over 'unacceptable' terms","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/golf-star-rahm-quitting-liv-184316076.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm Walks Away From LIV Golf Over Unacceptable Terms","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-walks-away-liv-204155170.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘Those terms are unacceptable’: Jon Rahm officially leaving LIV Golf","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/those-terms-unacceptable-jon-rahm-213045990.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm is officially leaving LIV Golf.
