Tyrrell Hatton and Jon Rahm are eligible to play in the 2025 Ryder Cup as per reports
Tyrrell Hatton and Jon Rahm both joined LIV Golf in 2024. Since then, they were banned from the PGA Tour but remained members of the DP World Tour. However, recently the DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings said that they can still play at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Kinnings said (via BBC):
"The reality is, under the current rules, if a player is European, a member of the DP World Tour and abides by the rules - if you don't get a release there are sanctions and you take those penalties - there is no reason why players who have taken LIV membership could not qualify or be available for selection."
Kinnings further said it's not a loophole and they've always had these rules. He said the players can play at the Ryder Cup if the suspensions are served. He said (via BBC):
"All suspensions will count and you have to serve them. And the guys who've analysed this in detail have said if they do it the right way, there is no reason why they can’t play in the Ryder Cup. We’re not going to change anything on that basis. Rules are rules and they apply for every member," he added.
However, to play at the Ryder Cup, Tyrrell Hatton and Jon Rahm must retain their memberships at the DP World Tour. Moreover, they will have to play at least four DP World Tour events. That's not all. The European Tour has also imposed fines on the players who have defected on the breakaway tour LIV. So, Rahm and Hatton will have to pay fines too if they intend to play at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
