Augusta: Jon Rahm says he is confident he will play in next year’s Ryder Cup and on the DP World Tour in September despite a dispute with the European circuit over fines.
The 31-year-old Spaniard, the two-time reigning LIV Golf season champion who is seeking his third major title at this week’s Masters, said Tuesday that he remains in talks with the DP World Tour about more than $3 million in accumulated fines for playing events in the Saudi-backed rival series.
“We keep talking about the DP World Tour and 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,” Rahm said Tuesday.
“I have faith in us and the DP World Tour. We’re going to find a good solution for both of us.”Rahm, the 2021 US Open and 2023 Masters champion, dropped an appeal against the fines last month but refuses to pay, leaving his Ryder Cup and DP World Tour status in doubt.
Rahm said he was confident he would be able to play in the 2027 Ryder Cup for Europe at Ireland’s Adare Manor and compete in DP World Tour events in September after the LIV Golf campaign.
