Jon Rahm has refused to rule out investing his own money in LIV Golf as the breakaway league looks for new financial backing beyond the 2026 season.
LIV Golf is preparing for a major change after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund confirmed that it will stop funding the league at the end of the 2026 campaign. The decision has forced LIV Golf to begin searching for new investors to keep the circuit running.

The league has already created a new board to oversee changes and attract fresh investment. There are suggestions that about $300 million will be needed to support a planned 10-event schedule in 2027.
Rahm Leaves the Door Open To Financing LIV Golf
Rahm joined LIV Golf at the end of 2023 in a deal reported to be worth more than $300 million. Since then, there has been growing speculation that some of the league’s biggest stars could help fund the tour if outside investment does not arrive.
The PIF said in April that continuing to invest in LIV Golf was “no longer consistent with the current phase of PIF’s investment strategy” as it confirmed that 2026 would be the final season of funding the team-based tour.
Speaking to reporters at the Renaissance Club ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open, Rahm said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil is working hard to find new investors.
“I know Scott is doing a lot of work trying to find developers,” Rahm said. And there’s many ways around that. As far as putting my money into it, they have not asked me to do that yet. So I don’t know if they will or not.”
When asked if he would reject the idea if it came up in the future, Rahm stopped short of ruling it out.
“Something I’ve learned in life, never say never. I’m not going to say absolutely no to anything that can happen in the future,” he said.

Rahm Returns to the Scottish Open
Rahm has faced questions about his move to LIV Golf since leaving the PGA Tour. Since joining the league two and a half years ago, he has missed two cuts and recorded only one top-five finish in 10 major championship starts.

This week, Rahm returns to the Genesis Scottish Open for the first time since 2022. He was able to enter the tournament after completing his settlement agreement with the DP World Tour.
The Spanish star said he had missed playing in the event, which has become an important stop before The Open Championship. Six other LIV Golf players are also competing in the co-sanctioned event as questions continue over the future of the breakaway league.
