Jon Rahm returns to Scottish Open amid LIV uncertainty

Picha iliyoundwa na AI

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.
