It also allows Rahm to regain his eligibility to play for the European Team in the Ryder Cup in 2027.
The agreement ends a dispute between Rahm and the DP World Tour over unpaid fines levied on Rahm for playing in conflicting golf events without a release from the DP World Tour. Rahm had appealed those fines in 2024 but withdrew his appeal in March 2026. It’s estimated that the fines were around $3 million.
Rahm stated that both he and the DP World Tour had made concessions in order to come to an agreement. "I offered some; they extended an olive branch. Obviously we've reached an agreement.
That will not be a stress anymore," Rahm said Tuesday. "The DP World Tour and Jon Rahm have come to an agreement on conditional releases to play in conflicting tournaments on LIV Golf during the remainder of its 2026 season," the DP World Tour said in a statement. "This involves payment of all outstanding fines accrued from 2024 to date, along with participation in agreed DP World Tour tournaments (outside the majors) in the remainder of the 2026 season.
