Jon Rahm speaks out on his chances of playing in 2027 Ryder Cup amid DP World Tour dispute

Jon Rahm remains confident he will play in next year’s Ryder Cup , despite his current ineligibility stemming from an ongoing dispute with the DP World Tour. Last month, the Spanish golfer withdrew his appeal against sanctions imposed for playing in LIV Golf events that conflicted with the tour’s schedule. This move came after he refused a deal accepted by eight of his colleagues, which saw them pay outstanding fines and commit to a certain number of events on the tour.

To regain eligibility for the DP World Tour, Rahm would need to settle his outstanding fines, believed to be more than £2 million, and agree to the conditional terms set by the tour. However, the 31-year-old expressed optimism for a resolution, suggesting he expects to be in the field for October’s Spanish Open, indicating a potential breakthrough in negotiations. Rahm still hopes to play in Luke Donald’s team next year (Getty) Asked whether he was confident he would play for Luke Donald’s team at Adare Manor next year, Rahm stated: "Yes.

We keep talking with the DP World Tour trying to figure out a solution that works best. I didn’t think that going the legal route and going to court was good for anybody so I have faith in us and the DP World Tour (that) we’re going to find a good solution for both of us. " He further clarified his immediate playing status, adding: "I truly don’t know (if I am unable to play DP World Tour events).

If I were unable right now, it doesn’t matter since I’m not planning to tee it up until after August (when the LIV series ends). " When asked whether he was prepared to offer a compromise, Rahm – who is currently at Augusta trying to win a second green jacket after his 2023 victory – responded: "I think I already have. We’ve already told them many times.
