Jon Rahm is making significant strides to secure his eligibility for the 2025 Ryder Cup, beginning with his participation in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship next month. Rahm, who joined the LIV Golf tour last year, was at risk of missing out on the Ryder Cup due to his DP World Tour membership requirements. To qualify, he must participate in three more DP World Tour events this year.
With time running out and hefty fines from the DP World Tour for his involvement with LIV Golf, Rahmâs path to qualification has been challenging. Nevertheless, his decision to participate in the Spanish Open and Dunhill Links marks a key step in meeting the necessary criteria.
Rahmâs efforts to remain eligible for the Ryder Cup have garnered the support of Rory McIlroy, who welcomed his commitment to follow the rules and compete in the required tournaments. McIlroy, a strong advocate for Rahmâs inclusion in the European team, is optimistic about Rahmâs chances.
With one of the four required events already completed, Rahm now needs just one more appearance on the DP World Tour by the end of the year to retain his membership and keep his Ryder Cup hopes alive. The upcoming Andalucia Masters could provide him with the final opportunity to meet these obligations.
