Former world number one Jon Rahm has said he is quitting LIV Golf, robbing \u2060the breakaway circuit of \u2060one of its biggest stars while it fights to emerge from bankruptcy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rahm\u2019s lawyer John Beck told a bankruptcy hearing on Wednesday that the two-time \u2060major champion made his decision after looking over details of LIV Golf\u2019s planned next phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Rahm has independently reviewed the proposed terms of LIV 2.0, as the parties have been referring to \u2060it, and has determined that those terms are unacceptable as to him, and he will not be participating going forward in LIV 2.0,\u201d Beck told the court.<\/p>\n

Other golfers asked a US bankruptcy judge to help terminate their contracts and clarify their ability to negotiate with other tournament organisers and sponsors \u200cas their LIV contracts go unpaid.<\/p>\n

LIV has already agreed to terminate Sergio Garcia\u2019s contract after determining that the league would not honour its terms, and lawyers for Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith, An Byeong-hun, Marc Leishman, Cameron Tringale and Matthew Wolff asked the judge to allow those players out of their old contracts.<\/p>\n

Ending those contracts would not preclude those players from agreeing to participate in LIV 2.0.<\/p>\n

Rahm, one of the most high-profile players to join LIV Golf, has won three consecutive season-long individual titles on LIV since joining the circuit \u2060in late 2023, eight months after winning the Masters for his second major title.<\/p>\n

When LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 protection in New \u2060Jersey last month, its filing listed several star golfers as \u2060creditors still owed millions in unsecured claims. Among them, Rahm had the largest claim among players at $7.5m.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, LIV secured funding from BC Partners to help it emerge from restructuring and strengthen its financial footing before the 2027 \u200cseason. The financing, up to $300m, remains subject to bankruptcy court approval and customary conditions.<\/p>\n

BC Partners Credit, which provides financing to middle-market companies, said the funding would support what it described \u200cas \u200cthe next phase of LIV Golf, under which players would become equity owners of the league and its teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
