ESPN · May 5, 2026, 5:58 PM

Key takeaways

  • The settlement allows the former world No. 1 to regain his eligibility to compete for the European team in next year's Ryder Cup.
  • "Right now, I have several years in my contract left," Rahm said.
  • Rahm, 31, is a two-time defending LIV Golf individual champion and leads the league in points this season with two victories and three runner-up finishes.

Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.

During a news conference Tuesday ahead of this week's LIV Golf tournament at Trump National Golf Club, Rahm also revealed that he has settled his long dispute with the DP World Tour over his unpaid fines for playing in conflicting events without a release.

The settlement allows the former world No. 1 to regain his eligibility to compete for the European team in next year's Ryder Cup.

"Right now, I have several years in my contract left," Rahm said. "I'm pretty sure they did a pretty good job when they drafted that, so I don't see many ways out. Right now, I'm not really thinking about it because we still have a season to play and majors to compete for. It's not something I want to think about just yet."
