Yes it’s possible this all works out. And it’s quite possible this situation exists because the parties involved believed in 2024 that kicking this down the road would allow for a deal to make it all go away.
I don’t blame him on 2 events being determined. My guess is this would be ultimately consulted as with the others. Ask Norman or Els about what was required when exceeding their allotted releases. It’s why Ernie routinely played 20 a year on pga tour or why Greg would show up in Milwaukee
Rory on Rahm: deal offered was “generous”
www.si.com/golf/rory-mc...
He was also given an opportunity to move on from this with LIV paying the previous fines. And admitted he’d have taken the deal were it not being required to add the 2 events.
Jon Rahm speaks. He rejected DPWT deal over having to play 2 extra events.

Are you insisting on being pedantic, John? They’d also incur suspensions. And they’d be responsible for the fines which no matter how much money they make are not insignificant . Now they don’t have to worry about it.
The “others” who aren’t in the majors are the issue and might want to play more and this agreement is allowing them to do that without any hassles. That is the point I was making. Is that a problem, too?
It was a planted talking point early on that was woefully pathetic.
And let’s be honest, the “want to play less” talking point was ill advised. Some like DJ fit that. But not many
The others also just might want to play more than 13 events a year and don’t want to deal with the hassles of being suspended and fined. They have now avoided that.
That’s the advantage he has. Nobody said he has to play the DPWT if he doesn’t want to. That’s his choice
That is correct. He did not play enough events. Since he is not a member he was not offered the deal the 8 accepted. Same for Sergio
It about killed me lol. Hope you are well

Niemann needs OWGR and he doesn’t appear to have agreed to this either. With success on LIV they will be fine and it’s only the Ryder cup that is an issue for Rahm. Perhaps he can live without it at this point and they can certainly win it without him.
That was one of the best Team Canada performances I have ever seen, except they could not score. Column from a gold medal game that hurt, in every way. www.thestar.com/sports/olymp...
lol we are pathetic
Yes it is. But bottom line is all the players allowed back have paid their fines. They were never going to waive them. Why they allowed an appeal is obvious but the bottom line is these other guys want to play. Now they don’t have to worry about it this year. Meanwhile Rahm accumulates more fines
He knew the rules when he left for LIV Golf and it was barely 6 months after the arbitration panel had ruled the DPWT had the right to enforce rules and levy fines. Whether he was going to play this events or not, release was required to skip them. By not getting a release he was in violation.
DPWT settles with LIV Golfers… but not Jon Rahm, whose stubbornness might be an issue come the 2027 Ryder Cup.

I didn’t take it personally. And there was no need to separate because the person who was involved was removed.
