Jon Rahm addresses LIV Golf future ahead of the Irish Open
Summary

Jon Rahm arrives at the Irish Open in Doonbeg amid uncertainty regarding the future of LIV Golf. The league recently announced a scaling back of operations following the withdrawal of financial support from the Public Investment Fund. Despite the organizational changes and the premature conclusion of the 2026 LIV season, Rahm maintains he remains focused on the tournament. The two-time major winner joined LIV alongside teammate Tyrrell Hatton, who has expressed confidence that the tour will continue next year. Rahm is seeking his third Irish Open title before traveling to Wentworth for the BMW PGA Championship. His participation in future events remains tied to the ongoing resolution of the tour's status.
