Rahm Secures Ryder Cup Eligibility with DP World Tour Agreement
Jon Rahm has reached an agreement with the DP World Tour, ensuring his eligibility for next year's Ryder Cup in Ireland.

Jon Rahm has confirmed he will be eligible for next year's Ryder Cup in Ireland after reaching an agreement to continue playing on the DP World Tour. The Spanish star's participation had been in doubt following his move to LIV Golf, which created uncertainty about his status on the European circuit.

Watch the highlights:

The deal ensures Rahm can represent Europe in the biennial contest scheduled for 2027 at Adare Manor in County Limerick. The two-time major champion has previously been a key figure in European Ryder Cup teams, contributing to memorable victories.

Rahm's commitment to the DP World Tour preserves his eligibility for the tournament, which remains one of the most prestigious events in golf. His participation will add star power to the European team as they seek to retain the trophy.

The agreement comes after months of negotiations regarding player participation requirements following the emergence of rival leagues. Rahm's situation mirrors that of several other high-profile players who have sought to maintain their European ties.

Ryder Cup captain selections will now include Rahm among the candidates for automatic and wildcard spots. His experience and past performances in the event make him a valuable asset for the European team.

The tournament in Ireland will mark a significant moment for European golf, with several roster spots still to be determined. Rahm's involvement ensures one of the sport's major names will be competing for the continent.
