The reason this Ryder Cup standout is pushing for a quick PGA Tour-PIF agreement

Negotiations between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, owners of LIV Golf, continued last week with a meeting in New York. European Ryder Cup team members who play on LIV Golf are currently ineligible to compete in the biennial contest. Jon Rahm, a two-time major champion and former World No. 1, is among these players who left the PGA Tour for LIV and won the 2024 LIV individual title last week. Without paying hefty fines to regain membership on the DP World Tour, Rahm cannot play in the Ryder Cup.

Justin Rose, another European Ryder Cup star, expressed hope that a deal between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf will be finalized in time for the 2025 Ryder Cup. He stressed the importance of having the best players on Team Europe, including players like Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, who are currently on LIV. While there is a pathway for LIV players to regain eligibility for the Ryder Cup through the DP World Tour, not all players may choose to follow this route. The absence of Rahm and Hatton would be a significant loss for Team Europe, as they had a successful partnership at the 2023 Ryder Cup and continue to play together on LIV.

Future Ryder Cup captains, such as former European Ryder Cup stars turned-LIV pros like Ian Poulter, are also affected by the current eligibility rules. Poulter, known for his impressive Ryder Cup record, lost eligibility when he joined LIV and is unable to participate in future Ryder Cups without a PGA Tour-PIF deal. Players like Poulter are hoping for a resolution between the two parties to allow them to continue their Ryder Cup careers. Rose emphasized the importance of having the best players and potential captains on the European Ryder Cup team, regardless of the tour they play on.

The sentiment within the European Ryder Cup team is that negotiations between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf need to accelerate in order to have the best players compete in the 2025 event at Bethpage Black. Players like Rahm and Hatton, who left the PGA Tour for LIV, are currently at risk of missing out on the Ryder Cup if a final agreement is not reached. The existing pathways for LIV players to regain eligibility for the Ryder Cup involve paying fines and serving suspensions on the DP World Tour, a route not all players may be willing to take. Amidst ongoing discussions, players and fans alike are hopeful for a resolution that benefits the future of the Ryder Cup and allows all top players to participate in the prestigious event.
