Jon Rahm Eliminated From BMW PGA After Second-Round Collapse

The result deepens questions about Rahm’s playing form, including his pending LIV Golf legal situation.

Overview

  • Rahm was cut from the BMW PGA Championship after a second round of five over par that included a double bogey, five bogeys and two birdies and left him +11 and bottom of the leaderboard.
  • The Wentworth collapse continues a difficult 2026 season that has seen Rahm miss the U.S. Open cut and record modest finishes at the Masters and The Open.
  • Rahm says he will delay any decision on joining the new LIV 2.0 project until a 'long legal process' is resolved and he remains under an active LIV Golf contract signed in late 2023.
  • Family timing clouds his short-term plans because Rahm and his wife expect their fourth child in early October, leaving his entry in the Spanish Open unconfirmed.
  • Rahm’s calendar still lists the DP World Tour season finals in Abu Dhabi and Dubai in November as near-term opportunities for him to regain form while his professional future is decided.
