Jon Rahm returns to Scottish Open amid LIV uncertainty

Selasa, 07 Juli 2026

Jon Rahm is set to play the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open this week at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. The LIV Golf player has a chance to win a PGA Tour event through the tournament's co-sanctioning with the DP World Tour.

The event runs Thursday through Sunday, July 9-12. Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton are among the LIV golfers in the field. Brooks Koepka is competing via a sponsor's exemption.

Rahm settled a dispute with the DP World Tour in May, paying fines to maintain membership. He must play five DP World Tour events this season. The agreement allows him to compete this week ahead of the Open Championship.

Rahm said Tuesday he has not been asked to invest in LIV Golf as the league seeks new backers after losing Saudi PIF support. He added that he is open to future possibilities but is focused on the current tournament.

The Renaissance Club has rerouted holes to create a more exciting finish with no par-5s on the closing stretch. CBS and Golf Channel will provide television coverage.

Discussions highlight excitement over the star-studded field including LIV players like Rahm. Some express skepticism that a win would restore PGA Tour eligibility. Others note Rahm's comments on potentially funding LIV and his focus on the event as preparation for the Open.

The Scottish Open field has been announced and for the first time ever current LIV players Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Laurie Canter, David Puig, Tom McKibbin, Adrian Meronk and Victor Perez will be playing a PGA Tour co-sanctioned event.

For the first time since moving to LIV.

It's co-sanctioned with the @PGATour, so what if he wins?

No, he won't be back on Tour. The PGA Tour have already said he will "remain ineligible for PGA Tour membership” even if he wins. pic.twitter.com/sKU5ZLKiQ0
