Jon Rahm says he has become “pretty good at dealing with turbulence” as he remained tight-lipped on his LIV Golf future before this week’s Irish Open. <\/p>\n
LIV’s prospects are uncertain following the withdrawal of financial backing from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).<\/p>\n
While the 2026 LIV season ended earlier than planned after the cancellation of the team championship in Detroit, Rahm’s Legion XIII team-mate Tyrrell Hatton has said he expects the tour to continue next year.<\/p>\n
“Yes and no, it hasn’t really changed from my last interview in Indianapolis a few weeks ago,” Spain’s Rahm told BBC Sport when asked if he knows what the future holds. <\/p>\n
“And there’s just a lot of things in place, right? There’s a lot of things that could happen and it’s one of those things where time’s gonna tell.”<\/p>\n
Last month, LIV confirmed it was “scaling back operations” and some employees were laid off at the start of September.<\/p>\n
“To be fair for us people that joined LIV, I’m pretty good at dealing with turbulence,” two-time major winner Rahm added.<\/p>\n
After the Irish Open in Doonbeg, County Clare, Rahm will tee it up at next week’s BMW PGA Championship – the DP World Tour’s flagship event – at Wentworth.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, the DP World Tour struck a deal with several LIV players – including Rahm and Hatton – which enabled them to compete on LIV without incurring sanction, but the agreement only applies to this year.<\/p>\n
While fellow major winners Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed – both in the Irish Open field – opted to leave LIV for a PGA Tour return, Rahm said “we’ll see what happens” when asked about a route back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jon Rahm says he has become “pretty good at dealing with turbulence” as he remained tight-lipped on his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":884459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-884458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=884458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/884459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=884458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=884458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=884458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
