Jon Rahm missed the cut at the US Open, finishing six-over after rounds of 68 and 78.
The Spanish golfer's early exit is a significant blow to LIV Golf, which is already facing an uncertain future.
What happened at the US Open?
Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm were the top LIV Golf players at the major championship.
But both failed to make an impact, with DeChambeau finishing five-over and Rahm six-over.
The cut line was four-over, and neither player was able to meet that target.
Why it matters for Jon Rahm
Rahm's performance is a concern, given his status as a two-time major winner.
He had a disappointing second round, carding a 78 after a promising 68 on the first day.
The Spanish golfer will now have a month to reflect on his shortcomings before LIV Golf's next event.
What comes next for LIV Golf?
The future of LIV Golf is uncertain, with funding set to be withdrawn at the end of the season.
The league's top players, including Rahm and DeChambeau, will need to perform better to attract new backers.
Rahm and DeChambeau's failure to make an impact at the US Open will not help LIV Golf's cause.
The US Open is one of the most prestigious tournaments in golf, and a good performance is crucial for any player.
Rahm's early exit will be a disappointment to his fans, who were hoping for a stronger showing from the Spanish golfer.
The 2026 US Open is taking place at Shinnecock Hills, a challenging course that demands accuracy and skill.
Rahm's rounds of 68 and 78 were not enough to see him through to the weekend.
He will now have to wait until the next LIV Golf event to try and regain his form.
The Spanish golfer has a month to prepare and work on his game before the next tournament.
Rahm's fans will be hoping for a stronger performance from him in the future.
The US Open is a major championship that attracts the best golfers from around the world.
Rahm's failure to make the cut is a setback, but he will have the chance to bounce back in the future.
