LIV Golf faces uncertainty as Rahm leaves and DP World Tour bars members in 2027

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.

What people are saying

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