Jon Rahm has come to terms with the DP World Tour resolving his membership status and Ryder Cup eligibility.
The deal clears the way for the Spanish star to potentially represent Europe in the upcoming Ryder Cup.
Doubt had grown in recent weeks over his future with the tour.
The agreement was announced this evening after negotiations.
Rahm expressed relief at getting the situation resolved.
Golf fans are reacting positively to the news. Ryder Cup drama almost cost one of the biggest names his spot. Good to see it sorted out before things got messier. This should calm the European team planning down a bit.
Jon Rahm settles dispute with DP World Tour after months-long stalemate
“Rahm told reporters Tuesday ahead of LIV Golf Virginia that he and the DP World Tour had come to an agreement, ending a stalemate between the two sides that threatened Rahm’s Ryder Cup eligibility. Details of their truce weren’t immediately available, but Rahm said he and the DP World Tour both made concessions to reach a deal. It’s likely Rahm will be able to play in LIV events without needing a release and garnering more fines.
With the two sides coming to an agreement, Rahm’s status on the DP World Tour is no longer in question.
In March, Rahm withdrew the appeal of sanctions against him but had not settled with the DP World Tour. The appeal is how Rahm remained eligible to compete in DP World Tour events and participate in the Ryder Cup. Players can maintain their DP World Tour membership while competing on different tours so long as they play in a minimum of four non-major DPWT events. For those competing on LIV, however, it’s six events, two of which are chosen by the Tour itself.”
