- Rahm must settle fines in order to play at Spanish Open
- Spaniard does not intend to pay fines for joining LIV
Luke Donald faces being without Jon Rahm, one of Europe’s key Ryder Cup figures, at Bethpage next September barring an unlikely 11th-hour resolution on Thursday between the Spaniard and the DP World Tour over outstanding fines.
Rahm, who joined LIV Golf last December, must play in three more events on the DP World Tour this year to retain his membership. That membership is essential for Ryder Cup participation. Rahm wants to feature in two tournaments in his homeland – the first is the Spanish Open on 26 September, then the Andalucía Masters – plus the Dunhill Links Championship to fulfil that criterion.
