The 30-year-old Spaniard did not win any tournaments in 2025, although he did capture the Ryder Cup with Team Europe last month and the individual season-long championship with LIV Golf in August.
The two-time major winner and former world No.1 had won at least one tournament every year since his first full season as a pro in 2017.
"I've never had three months off, but I'm looking forward to it," Rahm told Ten Golf following Sunday's finish at the Spanish Open in Madrid.
Rahm endured a nightmare 71 on Saturday, including a double bogey. It left him 12 shots back as he attempted to overtake Seve Ballesteros as the tournament's most successful golfer, since the creation of the European Tour in 1972, with a fourth national title.
However, he bounced back to close with a six-under 65 on Sunday to finish in a tie for ninth before his break.
"Other athletes have it, and we'll see. I'm lucky to be able to go home now, have a pre-season, be a father, be with my family, and well, if I see that it's too much, then maybe I won't do it next year, but I'm looking forward to it," he said.
Rahm is still awaiting a hearing for his appeal against sanctions by the European Tour for competing in LIV Golf events. Rahm has said he has no intention of paying fines imposed on him.
The break will be closer to four months, with LIV Golf teeing off the 2026 season on Febuary 5 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
