Jon Rahm prepared to go above and beyond to save LIV Golf in major bankruptcy update

Jon Rahm has suggested he could consider personally stepping in to help LIV Golf survive amid reports the breakaway league is facing bankruptcy.

With just two months left of the 2026 LIV Golf season, the league is running out of time to find new investors to secure its future.

Back in April it was confirmed that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) would stop financing LIV Golf at the end of the 2026 season.

Since then LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has reportedly been seeking around $300million (£224.3m) in order to keep the league running next year, with reports suggesting that the league is also laying the groundwork for potential bankruptcy in the U.S.

Should LIV Golf collapse, it would immediately raise questions about the futures of several of the league's biggest players, with the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Rahm among those that would be impacted.

However, in order to stop this possibility from happening, it appears that Rahm may be willing to step up and invest some of his own cash to help keep LIV Golf afloat.

“I know Scott is doing a lot of work trying to find developers and there’s many ways around that," Rahm said when asked about reports of players investing in the league.

“As far as putting my money into it, they have not asked me to do that yet. So I don’t know if they will or not.

“It’s not something that they have asked me, but there has been many different avenues to try to make it different.”

When asked if, hypothetically, he’d consider committing his own money, he added: “Something I’ve learned in life, never say never. I’m not going to say absolutely no to anything that can happen in the future.”

Sergio Garcia 'certain' about LIV Golf future in major update

Alongside Rahm and DeChambeau, 2017 Masters winner Garcia is among the big names currently competing in LIV Golf after departing the PGA Tour for Saudi-backed rival in 2022.

Amid the uncertainty surrounding LIV's future, Garcia plans to rejoin the DP World Tour in 2027 after a year away, having competed in last week's BMW International Open last week in Germany.

“It’s obviously something that I’ve always said that I wanted to do and I’m trying to do the best I can there," he said.

"Obviously, at 46, I can’t play 30 events a year, but I’m going to make an effort to see if I can at least play a handful and try to do my best there."

Despite this, the Spaniard remains confident that LIV Golf will find the necessary investment and continue to exist next year.

“It looks good,” the Fireballs captain claimed. “Obviously, I think they’ve had a lot of meetings with different possible investors. I’m 99% sure that LIV is going to continue.

“It’s just going to look different than it has the last four years. But I’m very, very confident that it’s going to keep going. We’ll see how it develops.”

According to bunkered.co.uk, the new LIV format being pitched to investors would see the schedule reduced to just 10 events, down from 14, including five ‘Team Majors’ and five ‘Signature Events’.
