LIV Golf faces uncertainty as Rahm leaves and DP World Tour bars members in 2027
LIV Golf is facing uncertainty as it tries to plan its future.
Jon Rahm, David Puig and Adrian Meronk have left the team-based tour, and Rahm will not play in its league next season.
The DP World Tour has also said LIV players will not be allowed to be members in 2027.
That matters to players who compete on both tours, including eight who agreed to conditional releases earlier this year.
LIV is also dealing with a bankruptcy case, while players decide whether to stay or go elsewhere.
Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time major winner and supporter of LIV, could be important to its plans for next year.
Whether LIV can remain a leading tour depends in part on its future plans and finances; the account says its finances would need to improve significantly over the next three years to challenge the PGA Tour or DP World Tour.
The DP World Tour will not allow LIV Golf players to be members in 2027.
Jon Rahm, David Puig and Adrian Meronk have left LIV Golf, according to Golf Monthly.
Rahm will not be part of LIV Golf’s team league next season.
The tour is also facing a continuing bankruptcy case as players weigh whether to commit or leave.
Golf Monthly says Bryson DeChambeau could be a major figure in LIV Golf’s efforts to continue.

If the intention is to be a premier tour alongside the PGA Tour and others then this makes it very difficult, if not impossible.
