Jon Rahm doesn't know with 100% certainty where he will play his golf in 2027. The Spaniard made this known on Tuesday ahead of the first event of the DP World Tour Playoffs -- his first appearance since announcing his departure from LIV Golf. Rahm appears slated to return to the European circuit on a full-time basis next season, but he is not ruling out a possible return to the PGA Tour, though talks have yet to materialize.
"I really don't know what 2027 is going to look like for me," Rahm said. "So, I have yet to have a discussion with the PGA Tour to see if there's any path back for next year. So, I don't know, as of right now.
Until I get clarity on that, yeah, my plan would be to spend the year on the DP World Tour, and I'm looking forward to it. Currently looking at the schedule to see how I can organize it to play the events I want to play. You know, maybe have a chance to have a bit of a different year to what I have in the past.
"But I haven't really gone too deeply into it just because there's still a question mark, right? Obviously, Brooks [Koepka] was able to go back through certain circumstances. I don't know if the possibility of that would be open for me or not, but if I have to fulfill a one-year suspension, I think it's a pretty good position to be that, a worst-case scenario, I get to play on a wonderful tour for a whole year." Rahm was offered the same deal Koepka accepted in early 2026 when the PGA Tour targeted its Returning Member Program at creating a pathway back for them, along with Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith.
Only Koepka returned to the PGA Tour, as he was the only player of the four who escaped his contract with LIV Golf. The deal terms consisted of a $5 million donation to charity, no FedEx Cup bonus money and no access to PGA Tour equity grants for five years. Koepka also had to qualify for signature events, which he never did.
If Rahm was offered that same deal now, the Spaniard said he would accept it. However, he believes the window for that deal is closed, and the PGA Tour has said as much previously. Yeah, but it's a big 'if,'" Rahm said.
