Barrika golferJon Rahm has decided to leave the Saudi circuit of Liv Golf. "Mr. Rahm has independently studied the terms proposed by LIV 2.0 and decided that these are unacceptable to him, so he will not participate in LIV 2.0 in the future," Rahm lawyer John Beck  confirmed on Wednesday.

According to Beck, Rahm and LIV are working to close a road separation agreement before October 15. He has won his third individual 31-year-old Rahm LIV Golf win in the three years he has been in the league. The Biscayan signed a contract that they report still has more than $100 million left to collect; as he himself acknowledged in May, there are still a few years left before the link ends.

LIV Golf has been funded by the Saudi Investment Fund from its inception in 2022 until this year, but has decided to eliminate its source of income this year.

The League has an agreement with BC Partners Advisors to assist in its restructuring, the original agreement stipulated that at least 50% of players to whom the league owes money should agree to participate in the LIV 2.0 version within 35 days of reporting their poor economic situation.

Rahm, who has won this season inHong Kong and Mexico City on the LIV Golf circuit, has finished second on four occasions. The Biscayan is expected to participate in the championships that will close the DP World Tour season in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Rahm, however, will not participate inthe Spanish Open  as he and his wife, Kelley, await the birth oftheir fourth child .

Sergio Garcia also leaves LIV.

Sergio Garcia, for his part, has also announced that he is "in the process of leaving the Saudi circuit, but there are conditions that make it difficult, and I hope that everything will be clarified to see what are the best options, without having to go to court."

"LIV is a product that I really liked, interesting and beautiful. It has brought high quality golf to many corners of the world. It hasalso helped improve the PGA Tour, so I think it has been positive, "he added.
