Rahm, DeChambeau, Smith snub PGA

[LOS ANGELES – Major winners Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith all committed to stay with LIV Golf in 2026 on Tuesday, turning down the chance to follow Brooks Koepka back to the US PGA Tour.

Five-time major winner Koepka announced his return to the US circuit on Monday under a new program that created a pathway back for stars who joined the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit.

It was open to those players who had won either a major or the Players Championship between 2022 and 2025, meaning American DeChambeau, Spain’s Rahm and Australian Smith would have been eligible to make the move back from LIV.

But none of them were interested.
