'We know a lot of what's going on' - Rahm tight-lipped on LIV future

Jon Rahm has remained tight-lipped about his LIV Golf future for 2027, saying "we know a lot of what's going on" but he is not in a position to share details.

The future of the breakaway golf league beyond the end of this season remains in doubt after backers the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund confirmed in April it is ending its funding for the series.

As one of the league's highest-profile players, Rahm's future beyond this season has been the subject of speculation amid LIV's bid to seek alternative investment.

LIV is in the UK this week for its event at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Staffordshire, its first tournament since the start of June.

Asked in Tuesday's pre-event press conference whether he had any clarity about LIV's future heading into 2027, Rahm said: "Yes. Well, we're in contact with them.

"We know a lot of what's going on, yeah.

"Not that I can share with you guys right now."

Put to him that he seemed optimistic, the Spaniard said: "I'm always optimistic.

"I play a game for a living. I can't really be too upset about how things are going in life. Even though I'm very frustrated on the course very often, off the course I'm very different to what a lot of people think."

Rahm, who joined the league from the start of 2024, was then asked directly whether he expected to be playing on LIV next year.

"I'm not going to share anything that I can't share with you guys right now," he replied.

Rahm wants clarity over code of conduct warnings

Rahm returns to LIV action after finishing tied 46th at The Open last week after shooting four-over for his final round.

The Spaniard received a code of conduct warning from Friday's second round at Royal Birkdale last week after throwing his club following his tee shot on the par-three 15th.

Asked whether he had sufficient clarity on what actions constitute a warning or a two-shot penalty under the new-for-2026 major code of conduct rules, Rahm said: "I personally have no idea what the line is. No clue."

He added: "I think you can all kind of understand what it may or may not be. I completely forgot about it until it happened. I know they issued multiple warnings over the course of the week.

"Yeah, it would be nice to have some clarity."
