Jon Rahm has reached a separation agreement with LIV Golf, giving up all economic claims in exchange for the return of his name, image, and likeness rights.
- Rahm and LIV Golf reached the separation agreement Wednesday, pending approval by US Bankruptcy Court Judge Michael B. Kaplan on Nov. 5.
- Rahm, LIV's largest unsecured creditor, waived his entire monetary claim, including over $100 million owed on his contract.
- In exchange, Rahm regained his name, image, and likeness rights and retains the "Rahmbo" and "Legion XIII" marks, though barred from using the latter in TGL.
- LIV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Sept. 8 after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew its backing.
