**Revised Title:** Rahm Wishes Reed Well Amidst LIV Turmoil, PGA Tour Shifts Ahead of 2026 Season **Revised Article:** Jon Rahm, the two-time defending individual champion of LIV Golf, has expressed his support for Patrick Reed's decision to leave the league and return to the PGA Tour. Rahm, who has become a key figure in LIV, stated that he wishes Reed "nothing but the best" as he navigates this change. Reed's departure, along with that of Brooks Koepka, has left LIV Golf facing an uncertain future. The league is set to kick off its 2026 season in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, amidst a backdrop of controversy and speculation. However, Rahm's comments suggest that he is not holding any grudges against Reed, who is expected to return to the PGA Tour later this year. LIV Golf has made significant changes to its format this season, moving from 54-hole events to the more traditional 72 holes. This shift aims to make LIV events eligible for points in the Official Golf World Rankings, a move that could pave the way for LIV competitors to qualify for major championships. Rahm, who has been a vocal advocate for this change, sees it as a positive step forward for the league. "The more golf we play, the better it is for stronger teams and stronger players," he said. Rahm also hopes that the DP World Tour will reconsider its policy of fining LIV players for missing events due to conflicts, a move that has cost him approximately $3 million. The LIV Golf season is set to kick off in Riyadh, with Rahm's team, Legion XIII, looking to defend their title. As the league navigates its uncertain future, Rahm's comments offer a glimmer of hope and a commitment to the LIV Golf community.
