Aside from the financial aspect, Jon Rahm took the step of signing for LIV because his presence in the four majors is assured. However, his risky bet on a sporting level left his participation in two of the events that arouse the most excitement in the air: the Olympic Games and the Ryder Cup. The first one was solved – if an agreement was not reached between the PGA and the Saudi league. his competition in Los Angeles 2028 could be in danger – the Biscayan has the goal of being in the great team event in golf.
After the European victory a year ago in Rome, New York will be the venue in September 2025. The six best from the Old Continent in the world ranking will attend and another six chosen by captain Luke Donald, but the essential condition is to continue being part of the circuit European. Rahm will keep his card in 2025 despite the financial fine that the DP World Tour wants to impose on him. The one from Barrika can continue playing his tournaments because he has requested the precautionary measure and right now the matter is in court. The decision is expected to take ten months.
Aside from this, there is some controversy with the participation of the LIV players. But Donald is counting on Rahm: «I have spoken to Jon. “It was great to see him do what he had to do to remain eligible.” The player and at the same time coach of the current defending champion has appeared at a press conference along with his American counterpart, Keegan Bradley.
Sergio Garcia
While the classification of American players penalizes LIV players, the European circuit route is a relief for players like Rahm and Hatton, a teammate in the Biscayan’s XIII Legion who, like him, has also requested the precautionary measure. A priori, they may be selectable for the next Ryder. Another issue, although it is very far away, is the edition that the Adare Manor luxury complex in Limerick, Ireland, will host in 2027. By the way, Donald is trying to convince Sergio García to be able to have him in Bethpage. But first the man from Castellón would have to make peace with the DP World Tour.
