  "account": "Jon Rahm has expressed openness to a PGA Tour return similar to that of former LIV Golf teammate Brooks Koepka, who recently agreed to a return deal with significant financial restrictions. Rahm said Tuesday during competition in the Abu Dhabi Aldar Golf Championship on the DP World Tour that he \"would most likely\" consider such a deal, though he doubted he would receive the same penalty as Koepka. Koepka was the only PGA Tour returning member in 2026, facing a five-year ban from the player equity program, no eligibility for FedExCup bonuses, a $5 million charity donation, and losing access to eight $20 million signature events. Rahm has yet to discuss a return with the PGA Tour, having declined the program alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Cam Smith due to financial penalties at the time. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp has ruled out reviving the program for now. Immediate penalties for rejoining LIV remain a one-year suspension since the last LIV event, which would see Rahm suspended until late August 2026. Rahm, who earned over $100 million at LIV from 2024 to 2026, indicated he wasn't keen on returning to LIV's next iteration, citing dissatisfaction with the changes from LIV 2.0. LIV is currently in bankruptcy proceedings, with plans to resume in January 2027, hosting 10 events with 75 players each.",
