While he believes that no golfer can ever be bigger than the Ryder Cup itself, he recognizes how valuable Rahm is to the European team.

The Saudi-backed circuit wanted to lift sanctions for Jon Rahm and others, allowing them to play on the DP World Tour, along with other concessions. But as Bob Harig explains, the DPWT's alliance with the PGA Tour is taking precedence.

LIV Golf attempted to strike a deal with the DP World Tour over fines Jon Rahm faces for skipping events in favor of LIV, but the World Tour turned it down.

Rahm earned $22 million— $4 million for LIV Chicago and $18 million for the season-long title—increasing his on-course winnings from LIV in 2024 to $37.9 million.

Jon Rahm has literally made the most of his first year with LIV Golf, where he's earned more than $34 million.

Jon Rahm did just enough Sunday to hold off Joaquin Niemann and Sergio Garcia for the victory at LIV Golf Chicago, the final individual event on the schedule this year. The win ends a winding year for Rahm in which he was great at LIV Golf events but not so great at major championships.

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) — Jon Rahm ended his first year in the LIV Golf League by closing with a 4-under 66 to win the final individual event Sunday and the season points title with its $18 million bonus.

Jon Rahm won for the second time on the LIV Golf tour, but this time it came with a hefty prize on top of the purse itself.

Rahm has finished first-second-first in his past three LIV Golf events. On Sunday at Bolingbrook Golf Club outside of Chicago, Rahm shot 4-under 66 in the final round to finish at 11 under for the week, three shots in front of Joaquin Niemann and Sergio Garcia.

Jon Rahm has finally appealed the European tour sanctions against him for playing Saudi-backed LIV Golf events.
