Jon Rahm will be free to leave LIV and pursue other opportunities under separation agreement

Jon Rahm has been granted permission to leave LIV Golf and explore other opportunities, as per a separation agreement filed in a New Jersey bankruptcy court. The agreement, which became effective a week after Rahm's attorney informed the court of his intention not to participate in the tour in 2027, outlines that the Spaniard owes no further service or performance obligations under any contract and is free from league regulations or team policies.

This allows Rahm to join or contract with any tour, league, or sponsor without prior notice or consent from LIV. The agreement also grants Rahm his name, image, and likeness rights. Rahm was scheduled to play his first event after his departure from LIV on November 5-8 at the Abu Dhabi Championship in the United Arab Emirates. Despite Rahm having several years left on his contract, he was reportedly owed $7.5 million by LIV at the time of the bankruptcy filing.

His signing bonus, estimated to be in the $300 million range, was never confirmed. The separation agreement, however, does not mention any monetary compensation.
