Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka, two of the biggest stars on the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League, plan to play on the DP World Tour this fall.
Both players mentioned in press conferences Wednesday at LIV Golf Chicago they’d be committing to the European circuit events, and on Rahm’s side, that includes a Ryder Cup plan.
Rahm says he plans to play in the Spanish Open, Andalucia Masters and Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Those three events, plus the Olympics, will fulfill the European Ryder Cup requirement. On the other hand, Rahm will not pay his DP World Tour fines.
“I’m entered to the tournament. We entered a long time ago. Whether they let me play or not is a different thing,” he said on Wednesday. “I’m not a big fan of the fines. … I’ve been outspoken about the fines. I don’t intend to pay the fines and we keep trying to have a discussion with them about how we can make this happen.”
Koepka also plans to play in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, saying, “St. Andrews is my favorite course in the world.”
LIV Golf Chicago kicks off Friday at Bolingbrook Golf Club and is the league’s final event before its team championship in Dallas, Sept. 20-22.
