Uncertainty for golfer Rahm

Jon Rahm’s Ryder Cup future remains uncertain after he was not included in a group of eight LIV golfers who have settled a long‑running dispute with the DP World Tour, leaving the Spaniard at risk of missing next year’s event in Ireland.

England’s Tyrrell Hatton, however, was among the eight who were granted conditional releases by the DP World Tour to participate in LIV Golf events this year, allowing them to retain memberships and remain eligible for Ryder Cup selection.

Rahm and Hatton were fined for competing in LIV events without permission 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.

Hatton, along with Laurie Canter, Thomas Detry, Tom McKibbin, Adrian Meronk, Victor Perez, David Puig and Elvis Smylie, will now face no disciplinary action if they meet strict conditions.
