Speculation surrounding the future of LIV Golf’s biggest stars resurfaced this week, but Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm wasted little time putting those rumors to rest.
During a captain’s press conference at LIV Golf Media Day, both players were asked directly about their PGA Tour eligibility and whether a return could be on the horizon. Their responses were firm, measured, and revealing of where their focus lies heading into the new season.
DeChambeau, one of LIV Golf’s most recognizable figures, made it clear that his immediate future is already decided. “I’m contracted through 2026, so excited about this year,” he said. The comment underscored not only his contractual commitment but also his enthusiasm for what lies ahead on the LIV circuit.
Jon Rahm echoed those sentiments with equal clarity. The reigning Masters champion emphasized that his attention remains fully on LIV Golf and his team’s goals. “I’m not planning on going anywhere, so very similar answer to what Bryson gave,” Rahm stated. He added that while he wished fellow golfer Brooks Koepka well, his priority is firmly on the upcoming LIV season and defending his team’s championship.
The comments arrive at a time when ongoing discussions about a potential reunification of professional golf continue to dominate headlines. With uncertainty still surrounding the relationship between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, fans and analysts alike have been eager for any indication of players’ long-term intentions.
For now, DeChambeau and Rahm have provided clarity. Both stars appear locked in on LIV Golf, focused on competition rather than speculation. Their statements reinforce the league’s growing stability and signal that, at least for the near future, some of the game’s biggest names are committed to building their legacy within LIV’s team-based format.
As the new season approaches, attention will shift from off-course debates back to the fairways—where DeChambeau’s power and Rahm’s precision will once again take center stage.
