Jon Rahm is willing to play in the required number of DP World Tour events to remain eligible to participate in next year’s Ryder Cup taking place on Long Island.
But paying the fine associated with having played in conflicting LIV Golf events seems to be the line that Rahm isn’t willing to cross.
“I’m entered into the tournament. We entered a long time ago,” Rahm said. “Whether they let me play or not is a different thing. I’m not a big fan of the fines. I think I’ve been outspoken about that. I don’t intend to pay the fines, and we keep trying to have a discussion with them about how we can make this happen.Brandel Chamblee slams Jon Rahm for one of the ‘chokes of the year’ in Olympics disaster“I’ve said many times, I don’t go to the Spanish Open for the glory or anything else.
The push to play those tournaments is part of Rahm’s bid to maintain his DP World Tour membership to remain eligible for the Ryder Cup. “It’s something so special,” Rahm said during a chat at a swanky NYC hotel. “It’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s going to be absolutely incredible. And hopefully, I can be a part of the team.”Even if Rahm remains eligible for the Ryder Cup, he would possibly need Luke Donald, the European team captain, to use one of his six captain’s picks on him.
