Jon Rahm is now in danger of missing the 2025 Ryder Cup
Jon Rahm is currently at risk of missing the 2025 Ryder Cup.
A fierce competitor on the golf course, Jon Rahm is one of the most valuable members of the European Ryder Cup team. The reigning Masters champion has a 6-3-3 record in three Ryder Cup appearances, but he may not be selected for Bethpage Black’s team in 2025. According to Telegraph Sport, Rahm was suspended from DP World Tour events and fined every time he started at LIV Golf. The number has already reached four. With 10 tournaments remaining on LIV’s 2024 schedule, the world No. 3 player’s suspensions will likely add up throughout the year.
What does this have to do with the Ryder Cup? Now, Rahm is only eligible for the 2025 Ryder Cup as he is still a member of the DP World Tour, but he will need to compete in at least four events this season to keep his card. The more suspensions and fines a player receives, the less likely he is to meet the four-game requirement. A similar scenario was seen with Spaniard Sergio Garcia, a Ryder Cup legend who joined LIV Golf in 2022. Garcia lost his DP World Tour card after joining LIV and will be unable to compete in the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. Ram is now following the same path.
