LIV Golf faces big setback as 8 golfers remain stranded in the Middle East following ongoing conflict
Jon Rahm chartered a private jet to evacuate seven LIV golfers and a caddie stranded by regional conflict, ensuring their participation in the LIV Hong Kong tournament.
- On Wednesday, seven LIV golfers and a caddie arrived in Hong Kong aboard a private jet arranged via Jon Rahm's partnership with VistaJet and paid for by a source, departing from Oman.
- After retaliatory strikes closed airports, players were trapped in Dubai, including Caleb Surratt and Tom McKibbin, as missile interceptions on Sunday and Monday worsened travel disruptions.
- After opening in Muscat on Tuesday, the group crossed the UAE–Oman border in a convoy, then boarded the jet after a brief refueling delay that departed at 12:02 a.m. Wednesday.
- There will be a full field for HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong this week after eight players who flew in from Oman arrived, with LIV Golf understood to have borne the cost after days of arranging transport.
- Rahm used his own channels to offer a jet out of Oman, urging Legion XIII to get LIV golfers and a caddie to Hong Kong before Thursday, as the league explored routing options and players arrived late.
