Hong Kong: Jon Rahm accused the DP World Tour on Tuesday of “extorting players” as he explained why he did not sign a deal to settle his fines for playing on the breakaway LIV tour.
Last month, the European-based circuit announced that eight LIV players had signed the agreement, which included a commitment to play more DP World Tour events, in return for a release to play LIV Golf in 2026 and their fines being paid.
One of the eight was Rahm’s Ryder Cup and LIV Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton. “I don’t like the conditions,” Rahm told reporters ahead of this week’s LIV Hong Kong tournament. “They’re asking me to play a minimum of six events, and they dictate where two of those have to be, amongst other things that I don’t agree with.”
