Two-time Major winner Jon Rahm prepares for his debut at the Yas Links with the 2026 Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship. Amid some major personal and professional changes, the Spaniard joins the likes of Rory Mcilroy and Aaron Rai in a field of 70 at the DP World Tour Play-off event.

Rahm recently announced his exit from the LIV Golf League over ‘unacceptable’ terms of his latest contract. He joined the Saudi-backed tour in 2024 and concluded his two-year journey as of October 7, 2026, along with several other players like Charles Howell III and Brooks Koepka.
In addition, the Spanish golfer along with his wife welcomed their fourth child recently following his exit from the league. Even as Rahm navigates his career, he looks to extend his relationship with the DP World Tour beyond his debut at the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship.

Speaking about this much-awaited debut, Rahm shared:
“I’ve heard great things about Yas Links, and I’m looking forward to playing there. It’ll be great to get started in Abu Dhabi before heading to Dubai the following week.”
Jon Rahm was last seen at the BMW PGA Championship where he missed the cut. However, he will look to regain his momentum at the 2026 Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship scheduled to take place from November 5 to 8.
