Rory McIlroy is this week playing at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, part of the DP World Tour
Rory McIlroy has challenged Tyrrell Hatton and Jon Rahm to "prove" their commitment to Europe's Ryder Cup team by settling their multi-million pound fines from the DP World Tour.
England's Hatton and Spaniard Rahm were fined for competing in conflicting LIV Golf events while remaining members of the European-based tour.
Both appealed against the sanctions in 2024, which allowed them to play in enough events to retain their membership and be eligible for last year's Ryder Cup victory over the United States in New York.
The cases are yet to be heard so the question over their eligibility is set to return before the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Ireland.
