In June, after the creation of LIV Golf, Rahm said, "To be honest, part of the (LIV) format is not really appealing to me. Shotgun three days to me is not a golf tournament, no cut. It's that simple". Rahm also said that $400 million would not change his life and that he played for history and legacy. In August 2023, Rahm said while on the Spanish-language Golf Sin Etiquetas podcast, "I laugh when people rumor me with LIV Golf. I never liked the format.
