Jon Rahm hopes there is a “way back” for LIV Golf players to feature on the PGA Tour again, admitting he felt “emotional” at missing certain events.
Rahm joined the breakaway LIV tour in December in a deal worth a reported £450m ($566.4m),, external meaning he is now excluded from PGA Tour tournaments.
However, there have been talks over a potential merger between the two tours.
“I’m hoping that in the near future I can be back playing some of those events,” said the 29-year-old Spaniard.
“I would certainly love to go back and play some of them.”
Rahm made his LIV debut in Mexico last weekend having missed PGA events at Palm Springs and Torrey Pines – the venue of his first PGA Tour win in 2017 and US Open triumph in 2021.
He will also miss this week’s WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale, which is just a few miles from his home.
“It was a lot harder to be at home not competing and know that those events were going on. Palm Springs and Torrey, those weeks were hard. I’ve explained so many times how important Torrey is for me,” he said.
“And driving by Phoenix as often as I had to and knowing that I wasn’t going to play there, it’s definitely emotional. That’s one of the things that I’m going to miss.”
