{"id":697,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/697","headline":"Jon Rahm walks away from LIV Golf, forfeits remaining nine-figure deal","dek":"The two-time major champion gave up more than $100 million in future guarantees as part of a separation agreement filed in LIV's bankruptcy case.","body":"Jon Rahm is done with LIV Golf, and he's leaving the money on the table. A separation agreement filed late Wednesday in LIV's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in New Jersey has Rahm releasing the league of \"all monetary and economic claims\" in exchange for getting back his exclusive name, image and likeness rights and other related marks.\n\nThat's a steep price. Rahm is LIV's largest unsecured creditor, owed $7.47 million in past unpaid dues according to bankruptcy filings, but he was widely believed to be sitting on more than $100 million in future guarantees from the multiple years left on his contract. All of it is now gone.\n\nThe move follows Rahm's lawyer telling the bankruptcy court on Oct. 7 that the golfer had no intention of competing on a reconstituted \"LIV 2.0\" in 2027 and beyond. The league itself is in flux: BC Partners Credit is lined up to provide $300 million in financing should LIV emerge from bankruptcy, with Saudi Arabia's PIF no longer bankrolling the operation.\n\nRahm's exit caps a turbulent run with LIV that started with a blockbuster signing and ends with him walking away from the remainder of a nine-figure contract rather than sticking around for whatever comes next.","published_at":"2026-10-15T23:35:54.461229+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Jon Rahm exits LIV Golf: Two-time major champion gives up claim for remainder of nine-figure contract","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/golf/news/jon-rahm-exits-liv-golf-nine-figure-contract/"},{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"Jon Rahm’s LIV Settlement Forfeits All Remaining Payments","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/jon-rahms-liv-settlement-forfeits-all-remaining-payments/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm’s LIV Settlement Forfeits All Remaining Payments","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-liv-settlement-forfeits-150457259.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Rahm reaches separation deal with LIV, gives up rest of nine-figure contract","url":"https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/50188685/jon-rahm-reaches-separation-agreement-liv-golf"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Jon Rahm’s LIV Golf divorce is final — and it cost him millions","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/15/sports/jon-rahms-liv-golf-divorce-is-final-and-it-cost-him-millions/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rahm Severs Ties With LIV Golf In Landmark Deal","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rahm-severs-ties-liv-golf-174712353.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jon Rahm reaches agreement to end LIV tenure, walking away from as much as $100 Million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/golf/article/jon-rahm-reaches-agreement-to-end-liv-tenure-walking-away-from-as-much-as-100-million-184626381.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"As Jon Rahm splits with LIV, what happens to his massive deal?","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jon-rahm-splits-liv-happens-231335647.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://frontofficesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-08-08T221843Z_932926352_MT1USATODAY29544680_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-LIV-GOLF-NEW-YORK-FIRST-ROUND-scaled-e1792076240665.jpg?quality=80&w=1024","credit":"Front Office Sports","width":1024},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
