Jon Rahm refused to dwell on his decision to join LIV Golf ahead of the second men’s major of the year.
Rahm, 31, arrives at Aronimink Golf Club for the PGA Championship with his long-term prospects unclear after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund announced they are no longer willing to finance LIV Golf beyond 2026.
LIV Golf has appointed two new independent board members and hired a New York investment bank as it navigates the post-PIF landscape and attempts to secure its future.
Some golfers, including five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, have already re-joined the PGA Tour and there are whispers several other LIV stars are looking for the exit door.
But Rahm – who rejected the opportunity to re-join the PGA Tour in January alongside Koepka as part of a returning member programme – remains locked in a lengthy contract.
Asked whether he regretted his move to LIV amid the crisis, Rahm refused to dwell on his choice to switch to LIV.
“I would say I’ve made a lot of decisions in my life and I’ve never gone back thinking ‘Oh, had I known this again, I would do X and Y different’.
“If I lived my life like that as a golfer, I would be a very pessimistic person.
“So we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow and all we can do is learn from things that happen in the past good and bad.
“Just to speculate on what [I] could have done, what could have been different doesn’t really make much sense.”
Rahm was asked what he had learned from his decision to join LIV, but the Spaniard didn’t want to entertain the question.
“That is for me to know,” he said.
Rahm admitted that LIV players have had “a lot to deal with” in recent weeks.
But he is keen to focus on what he can control. This week, he will attempt to win his third major title and first since claiming the 2023 Masters at Augusta National.
“Out of the few talents I have in my life, fixing a business is not one of them,” he added. “I might be the worst person for that.
“It’s the people in charge of LIV, whose job I do not envy for a second, it’s their job to fix it.
“I have faith in the work that they’re doing. I have faith that they’re going to come up with a good plan.”
“So my job is to play golf, luckily. I’m decent at it. And that’s what I can focus on, right. What I can focus on is the next shot.”

This is such a good exchange between Shane Ryan and Jon Rahm.
Rahm is so thoughtful and smart, and his premise that you should be satisfied with past decisions based on the information you had at the time is 100 percent correct. He also seems just kinda … stuck now. pic.twitter.com/PpGEx6276h
