Jon Rahm’s first event of 2024 could be at his new home, LIV Golf, with the Masters champion still eligible for the DP World Tour.

Rahm’s signing of a £450m deal with Greg Norman & Co. last month was the biggest coup for LIV. The Spaniard follows Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in being suspended from the PGA Tour.

 

Despite being banned from the PGA Tour, the Spaniard can still compete on the DP World Tour. The Wentworth-based scheme cannot outright ban players if they switch to a Saudi-backed league, but it could fine and ban members from LIV events.

A number of celebrities including Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia have pulled out of the tournament due to the sanctions. However, Rahm is still a DP World Tour player, and with the LIV campaign not starting until February, his season could begin on the Wentworth circuit.

The DP World Tour season kicks off with a tour in the Middle East, starting next week at the Dubai Invitational. Although the entry list for this event has been submitted, Rahm could theoretically compete at the Dubai Desert Championships with his Ryder Cup teammates in a week’s time.

 

Held at the Emirates Golf Club, the event is one of the biggest events on the DP World Tour calendar and one of five events that make up the Rolex Series. Before the nominations are announced later this week, many celebrities have already committed to attending the event.

It was the most memorable moment of my career.”  Brought up in China’s southern Guangdong province, neighbouring Hong Kong, an 18-year-old Feng became the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA tour card in 2007.  The easy-going Feng went on to be the first Chinese player, man or woman, to win a major and lifted 10 LPGA titles during her 14 active years on the tour.  In 2017, Feng became the only Chinese golfer to date to reach the world No 1 ranking.  During a supremely consistent career, Feng registered 18 top-10 finishes in majors, two of them in 2021 even as she was winding down her playing commitments.
