Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton are facing fines and suspensions from the DP World Tour due to their switch to LIV Golf indicating ongoing challenges in securing their participation in Europe’s Ryder Cup team. Last April, a sports arbitration panel upheld the DP World Tour’s right to penalize members who joined LIV without proper releases. Rahm and Hatton who aspire to represent Europe in the 2025 Ryder Cup require changes to DP World

Tour’s disciplinary approach. New European Tour Group CEO Guy Kinnings will face pressure to facilitate Rahm and Hatton’s participation in the Ryder Cup. Meanwhile, PGA Tour player directors including Tiger Woods met with PIF governor Yasir al-Rumayyan to navigate a path forward that reconciles PGA Tour and LIV interests.

The Players Championship has suffered due to LIV impact but Scottie Scheffler’s victory has drawn comparisons to Tiger Woods though he acknowledges Woods’ unparalleled status in the sport.
