Impact Rahm qualifies for the elite program because he has won a major championship from 2022-25 (2023 Masters). The new program was put in place after Brooks Koepka decided to leave LIV Golf and apply for reinstatement from the PGA Tour. Koepka is exercising his option to return, but it's unclear if Rahm will do the same. Rahm initially left for LIV Golf in 2024 because he was frustrated with PGA Tour leadership, but with Rolapp now calling the shots that may change his mind. Rahm will have until Feb. 2, which is the first week of LIV Golf, to make his decision on whether or not to leave LIV and return to the PGA Tour. Rolapp indicated that this could potentially be a one-time offer. Rahm would have a five-year forfeiture of any potential equity in the PGA Tour's Player Equity Program, but he also received a hefty sum in his initial contract with LIV Golf. Rahm has slipped to 87th in the OWGR and has not been as competitive in the major championships since joining LIV.
