Rahm Would Take Koepka-Like Deal to Rejoin PGA Tour

Jon Rahm has admitted his route back to the PGA Tour is uncertain, saying he has not yet had a discussion with the tour about what a return could look like, but he would probably accept a deal similar to the one Brooks Koepka took to come back. Speaking ahead of this week's DP World Tour event in Abu Dhabi, the two-time major champion said he doubted he would be offered the same terms as Koepka, but added that he would take the penalties if they were on the table. Rahm quit LIV Golf after deeming the terms offered for the breakaway league's proposed relaunch unacceptable, and he is now set to spend 2027 on the DP World Tour. At the start of 2026, Rahm declined the PGA Tour's Returning Member Program, which was also offered to Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith, with Koepka the only player to sign up. Koepka's return came with conditions, including a $5 million charitable donation and exclusion from earning PGA Tour equity for five years. As things stand, Rahm faces a one-year suspension from the PGA Tour before he is eligible to win back his card, a position he described with typical bluntness: worst case, he gets to play a full year on what he called a wonderful tour. Until clarity comes, his plan is simple — play in Europe, and wait.
