Jon Rahm secures Ryder Cup eligibility through DP World Tour deal

Jon Rahm has confirmed he will be eligible for the 2027 Ryder Cup following an agreement to maintain his membership with the DP World Tour. The deal ensures the Spanish golfer can continue competing on the European circuit while remaining in contention for what would be his fourth appearance in the biennial contest.

Watch the highlights:

The Ryder Cup is scheduled to take place in Ireland, with Bethpage Black hosting the event. Rahm's eligibility had been in question following his move to compete primarily on the PGA Tour in recent seasons.

The agreement marks a significant development for Rahm's international career. The two-time major champion has previously represented Europe with distinction, contributing to the team's victory in 2023 and maintaining strong relationships with European teammates throughout his career.

Rahm has indicated that representing Europe remains a priority, and this deal ensures he can do so without compromising his ability to compete on multiple tours. The DP World Tour has maintained its commitment to allowing top players to maintain their European eligibility while pursuing opportunities worldwide.

The announcement provides clarity ahead of the qualification window for the Irish event. Rahm will be looking to build on his previous Ryder Cup performances, where he has established himself as a key figure in the European lineup.

The deal represents a pragmatic solution that allows Rahm to balance his professional commitments while preserving his option to represent Europe in what promises to be a landmark Ryder Cup for the continent.
