Players have until Sunday, Oct. 25 to make that decision, and several have already announced that they will not be competing on the circuit any longer.

Why are players leaving LIV Golf?
In April, the Saudi Public Investment Fund announced it was ending its financial backing of LIV Golf after spending more than $5 billion on the league in its four years of existence. Last month, the league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as part of a restructuring agreement with BC Partners Credit aimed at preserving the league and making players majority owners of the reorganized company. The new-look league, dubbed "LIV 2.0," will feature significantly smaller purses and those who participate in it are barred from competing on the PGA Tour or the DP World Tour.
When did Jon Rahm leave LIV Golf?
On Oct. 7, Jon Rahm's lawyer announced in the bankruptcy hearing that the Spanish superstar “independently reviewed the proposed terms of LIV 2.0 … and has determined that those terms are unacceptable to him, and he will not be participating going forward.” Rahm, a two-time major champion, was LIV's best player, winning the individual overall title in each of his three seasons with the league. He is currently ranked No. 15 in the world.
