Spaniard confident resolution with DP World Tour is close
Rahm paired with Gotterup and Åberg at Masters
Jon Rahm has declared he will play for Europe in next year’s Ryder Cup, with the Spaniard confident of ending his standoff with the DP World Tour by September. Rahm’s sentiment will raise Luke Donald’s confidence that he will be able to call on one of his key team members for Europe’s Ryder Cup defence.
Rahm has been subject to fines reaching seven figures for participating on the LIV Tour without consent from the DP World Tour, of which he is still a member. Rahm dropped his appeal over the sanctions on 20 March, which leaves him in default to the DP World Tour and unavailable for Ryder Cup selection. He also turned down a deal that would have resolved the situation in return for playing six designated DP World Tour events.
Asked whether he is confident he will turn out for Europe at Adare Manor, Rahm said: “Yes.” The 2023 Masters champion added: “I didn’t think that going the legal route and going to court was good for anybody. I have faith in us and the DP World Tour, that we are going to find a good solution.
