LIV players remain eligible for the Ryder Cup under current DP World Tour regulations, says Guy Kinnings.
Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton are not exploiting a “loophole” to remain eligible for the Ryder Cup, according to DP World Tour boss Guy Kinnings
McIlroy later admitted the rules did not need to be changed as Rahm and Hatton were eligible as long as they maintained their DP World Tour memberships by playing four regular events per season. However, it was not widely understood that suspensions are automatically applied to the next DP World Tour event for which the player is eligible and for which entries are still open, even if they had no intention of playing that event.
“We’re not going to change anything on that basis. Rules are rules and they apply for every member. We’re not in a position to be changing rules that we’ve had to go to court to defend.” “To be perfectly honest, this isn’t new news because, as you know, I had an extremely thorough Ryder Cup captain and a brilliant assistant.
