Jon Rahm will remain with LIV Golf and not follow Brooks Koepka's return to the PGA Tour, the Spanish golf outlet Ten Golf reported.

The 31-year-old Spaniard made his LIV Golf debut in February 2024. As a two-time major winner, Rahm is eligible for the PGA Tour's new member reinstatement program.

The former World No. 1 won the U.S. Open in 2021 and the Masters in 2023. As the captain of LIV Golf's Legion XIII, he has won two individual tournament titles (both in 2024).

LIV Golf stars Cam Smith and Bryson DeChambeau also meet the criteria to return to the PGA Tour, having won a major between 2022-25 and spent at least two years away from the tour.

DeChambeau told Flushing It Golf recently that he is still making a decision about his future.

"I'm not going to share too much, but the conversations (on his future) are in process. We have to get to a place where both parties have a good understanding of one another," DeChambeau said.

"It is getting to a place that makes sense for both sides. ...You never know. Life throws curveballs and, obviously, we saw (Koepka leave) and that was quite a shock to a lot of people and something that, you know, it is what it is."
