Jon Rahm officially can leave LIV Golf and possibly pursue a return to the PGA Tour.

That's according to a separation agreement filed in federal bankruptcy court in New Jersey. The filing comes a week after Rahm's attorney told the court his client would not play the LIV tour in 2027. Rahm is now free to join any tour and contract with any sponsor.

The Spaniard also was granted his name, image and likeness rights. Court files show LIV owes Rahm $7.5 million but there was no mention of monetary compensation in the agreement.
