Rahm Rejects LIV 2.0 Terms as Garcia Exits Bankruptcy Case

Jon Rahm has declined to join the restructured LIV Golf 2.0, citing unacceptable contract terms, while Sergio Garcia has been legally released from his existing agreement. A New Jersey bankruptcy court hearing on October 8 granted Garcia a termination of his contract, allowing him to negotiate with other tours. Conversely, Rahm’s attorney stated he will not participate in the new league, with his contract hearing delayed until November 5. LIV Golf, backed by BC Partners, maintains confidence in securing enough players by the October 25 deadline, though legal clarity for other stars like Bryson DeChambeau remains pending.

The warning reflects a new PGA Tour conduct policy being piloted by the Masters, with penalties for later violations that could include two-shot penalties or disqualification, and the majors are expected to adopt similar rules.
