The league, already reported as financially strained, now faces the loss of its most recent former world No. 1, a signal that its restructuring may be faltering. Rahm’s lawyer told a court that the Spaniard is finished with LIV after three seasons, and Rahm himself confirmed he will not join the next version of the tour.
The Guardian warns the exit could trigger a wider player exodus, while Yahoo Sports and CNBC echo the pending departure. Observers wonder if additional top players will follow, further eroding the tour’s field.
