Rahm drar tillbaka överklagan, hoppas på lösning för DP World Tour Ryder Cup-plats

Jon Rahm har dragit tillbaka sin överklagan mot DP World Tour-sanktioner för att ha deltagit i LIV Golf-tävlingar utan tillstånd, och uttrycker tilltro till att nå en överenskommelse som säkrar hans plats i Team Europes Ryder Cup-lag. I ett uttalande inför The Masters gick spanjoren – som står inför obetalda böter på över 2 miljoner pund – från tidigare kritik mot tourens förslag till optimism om en ömsesidig lösning.

I mars avvisade Rahm ett förlikningserbjudande från DP World Tour som krävde att han betalade böter, drog tillbaka sina överklaganden och spelade fler tävlingar, vilket han beskrev som att "utpressa spelare". Nu har han avbrutit sin juridiska process hos den brittiska panelen Sports Resolutions och hyser fortsatt hopp. "Vi fortsätter att prata med DP World Tour och försöker hitta en lösning som fungerar bäst", sade Rahm på Augusta National. "Jag har tro på oss och på DP World Tour – vi kommer att hitta en bra lösning för båda parter."

Detta sker efter hans övergång till LIV Golf 2023, vilket ledde till sanktioner trots hans historik av att uppfylla medlemskrav på både DP World Tour och PGA Tour. Utan en lösning riskerar hans plats i Ryder Cup-laget 2027 på Irland att gå förlorad.
