Indianapolis will be Jon Rahm’s last event with the league as he is set to return to the PGA Tour in a deal reportedly struck in recent weeks.
The criteria for his return are said to include:
– $25 million fine, to be donated to charity
– Will have to do a Koepka-esque apology tour that includes announcing his separation from LIV Golf and a return to “traditional golf”
– Will not be eligible for Signature events unless he plays his way into them, not eligible for sponsors exemptions into these events
Furthermore, Legion XIII General Manager has been working behind the scenes to secure a similar deal for teammate Tyrrell Hatton, but nothing concrete has been agreed on yet.
Though the landscape surrounding LIV Golf has been very tumultuous over the past few months, it’s not expected that this will come as a shock to anyone within LIV Golf, and the prospective lead investment group.
They were reportedly informed of his intentions well ahead of the event in Bedminster.
