Tour Confidential: Can LIV Golf survive without Jon Rahm?

In GOLF's Tour Confidential, editors and writers discuss the future of LIV Golf following Jon Rahm's official departure from LIV 2.0. The panel debates whether the league, which recently filed for bankruptcy, can survive as a major force in global golf without one of its most prominent headliners. Several writers argue that while LIV may continue staging tournaments in a reduced format, Rahm's exit severely undermines its credibility and marketability.

The discussion also explores potential pathways for Rahm to return to the PGA Tour, with staff writers arguing against immediate exemptions or special treatment from PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp. Additionally, the panel addresses the potential departures of Sergio Garcia and David Puig, the position of Bryson DeChambeau, and recent Korn Ferry Tour graduates including 19-year-old Blades Brown.
