Ryder Cup: Regardless of LIV, the competition should pit best of Europe and America - Jon Rahm

Posted : 31 May 2023
Regardless of the players' LIV Golf standing, according to Jon Rahm, the Ryder Cup should be played between the best of Europe and America.
 
Rahm expressed sadness over the fact that he would not be able to continue his relationship with fellow Spaniard Sergio Garcia.
 
After quitting the European Tour to join the Saudi-funded LIV Tour, Garcia is no longer eligible for the competition.
 
"It's a little sad to me that politics have gotten in the way of such a beautiful event," said Rahm.
 
The 43-year-old Garcia, who holds the European record for points scored, was unbeaten in the three matches he played alongside Rahm in the Whistling Straits Ryder Cup in 2021, which the United States won 19-9.
 
"Again, it's the best Europeans against the best Americans, period," added Rahm.
 
"And whatever is going on, who is playing LIV and who is not playing LIV to me shouldn't matter.
 
"It's whoever is best suited to represent the European side. I have a hard time to believe that the best player Europe has ever had, the most successful player Europe has had on the Ryder Cup, isn't fit to be on the team.

Twelve players who had appealed against being fined £100,000 and banned from the Scottish Open for competing in the first tournament of LIV Golf in June 2022 without authorization lost their case in favour of the European-based tour in April.
