Jon Rahm secured his spot for the 2027 Ryder Cup after reaching a settlement with the DP World Tour. The Spanish major winner had been barred from the circuit for refusing to pay fines tied to his LIV Golf participation, rendering him ineligible for team selection. By agreeing to settle the outstanding penalties, he restores his standing. He will also play five events.

The agreement requires Rahm to clear fines estimated at roughly £2m and compete in at least five DP World Tour events outside the majors through the remainder of the 2026 season. Eight other LIV players have already signed similar deals, committing to six tour stops each. Rahm’s recent form includes three European victories this year, bolstering his Ryder Cup credentials as required.

Captain Luke Donald will now have a proven four‑ball partner in Rahm as Europe prepares for the showdown at Adare Manor in County Limerick. Rahm’s unbeaten record in foursomes—six wins against the United States—adds strategic depth. With the Saudi funding withdrawal casting doubt on LIV’s future, his decision underscores a shift back toward the traditional tour for Europe.
