Jon Rahm will return to play on the DP World Tour this season after reaching a conditional release agreement and settling all outstanding fines.
The news means that the Spaniard will now be eligible to qualify for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.
Rahm Required to Pay Outstanding Fines
The DP World Tour confirmed that as part of the agreement, Rahm was required to pay off all of his outstanding fines from 2024 to date. The fines are believed to be around $3m (£2.21m).
A spokesperson for the DP World Tour said: “The DP World Tour and Jon Rahm have come to an agreement on conditional releases to play in conflicting tournaments on LIV Golf during the remainder of its 2026 season.
“This involves payment of all outstanding fines accrued from 2024 to date, along with participation in agreed DP World Tour tournaments (outside the Majors) in the remainder of the 2026 season.”
Rahm revealed that both sides “had made concessions” as part of the agreement.
Withdrawal of Appeal
The news comes after the European Ryder Cup player announced in March that he had withdrawn his appeal against sanctions imposed by the DP World Tour for playing on the rival LIV Golf league.
PIF Cuts Funding to LIV Golf
Last week, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced that it would be cutting its funding to the breakaway golf league following the conclusion of the 2026 season.
In a statement released on Thursday, the PIF said that the “substantial investment required is no longer consistent” with the fund’s investment strategy moving forward.
Jon Rahm will now be able to play in next year’s Ryder Cup.
