Jon Rahm on LIV Golf contract: 'I don't see many ways out' - ESPN

STERLING, Va. — Two-time major champion Jon Rahm said he has multiple years left on his contract with LIV Golf and doesn't see «many ways out,» as the league attempts to find new financing after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced it will pull its funding after this season.

During a news conference Tuesday ahead of this week's LIV Golf tournament at Trump National Golf Club, Rahm also revealed that he has settled his long dispute with the DP World Tour over his unpaid fines for playing in conflicting events without a release.

Right now, I'm not really thinking about it because we still have a season to play and majors to compete for. It's not something I want to think about just yet.»

Rahm, 31, is a two-time defending LIV Golf individual champion and leads the league in points this season with two victories and three runner-up finishes. The PIF announced last Thursday that it won't fund LIV Golf beyond this season.

Rahm said Tuesday that LIV golfers had been told that there would be PIF funding for «many years.»

»For me, the reality kind of came afterwards. I would say, like everybody, [I was] surprised. Obviously, [it was] unexpected. We did hear
