Two-time major winner Jon Rahm said Tuesday that he expects to play in the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor despite refusing to accept the DP World Tour deal that would allow him to play LIV Golf events as well as DP World Tour events without being fined.
“We’re going to work it out. It’s going to work out,” Rahm said. “As of now, the DP World Tour is doing what they need to do and following the channels they need to follow, but I’m confident this will be sorted out.”
European Ryder Cup members are required to be in good standing with the DP World Tour to play in the event. In September 2024, Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk appealed their past sanctions which allowed them to continue playing in DP World Tour events as well as the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage. The trio was disciplined for competing in LIV Golf events that were held concurrently with the European circuit’s tournaments.
On Feb. 21, the DP World Tour granted conditional releases to eight of its members, not including Rahm, to compete in LIV Golf League events this season. In its statement, the tour indicated that the golfers granted releases had paid their outstanding fines. In the past, Rahm said he didn’t intend to pay fines, which are reportedly as much as $3 million.
