Rahm to quit LIV Golf over 'unacceptable' terms

Jon Rahm is set to quit LIV Golf after deeming the terms proposed to him for the relaunch of the series “unacceptable”; Rahm is reportedly owed up to $150m (£113m) from the contract he signed three years ago, with both sides now working towards a separation agreement

Jon Rahm is to quit LIV Golf after deeming the terms offered for the proposed relaunch of the breakaway series “unacceptable”.

LIV Golf is currently going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the US after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew its support at the end of the season, having invested $5bn (£3.7bn) over four years.

While players including Sergio Garcia successfully petitioned the court to lift the automatic stay on their contracts, effectively freeing them to explore other opportunities for next year, Rahm was not granted the same route out.

The Spaniard is one of LIV Golf's two biggest names, alongside Bryson DeChambeau, and is reportedly owed up to $150m (£113m) for the remainder of the contract he signed almost three years ago.
