How much has the Public Investment Fund paid to Jon Rahm for his signing with LIV Golf? Obviously, the figures have not been made public officially and really the only ones who know for sure are Jon himself, his representation agency and the PIF men who have been directly in the negotiation. By the way, Rahm has not negotiated with LIV Golf, but in first person with the Fund. It’s a nuance, but it explains that his conversations have been taken to the highest level.
As we say, the figures have not been made official, but there are not a few media and social media accounts that have ventured to shoot numbers at discretion. There has been talk of 600 and 500 million dollars for a five-year contract. The exact amounts are known to no one, but at Ten Golf we can provide you with an approximate idea, as direct sources from LIV Golf explain.
Rahm’s signing is valued economically in two concepts. On the one hand there is the money, the big dough, the cheque that the Barrika man is going to cash, and on the other the ownership rights of the team he is going to captain. According to Ten Golf, the direct money that is going to be transferred to Rahm would never exceed 300 million dollars for the five years of contract, which is already money… In fact, with this figure he would become by far the highest paid player in the history of LIV, leaving far behind the previous record held by Cameron Smith at 200 million dollars.
From there, the rest of the payment would be in kind, that is, with 25 percent of the ownership of his team, valued at about 200 million euros. For this reason, many media are talking about Rahm receiving around 500 million dollars for his signing with LIV Golf. However, these 200 million in which the fourth part of his team is valued, are still a future estimate that will depend on how the Saudi league evolves and the brands that are willing to buy some team. It’s early, true, but so far, since LIV was born, no sale has been made.
