It would seem Spanish golfer Jon Rahm has dropped his appeal over the DP World Tour imposing sanctions on him rejoining the Tour.
Our colleagues at Golf.com are reporting this news however with no official word from Rahm, who is contesting this week’s inaugural LIV Golf South Africa.

Rahm officially withdrew his appeal earlier this month on March 10th and his 18-month appeal but clarified to the DPWT that he has no interest in paying his fines, which have grown north of $3 million.
Golf.com said: The appeal, which had dragged on without meaningful progress, allowed Rahm to enter DPWT events for the last 18 months without issue, as well as compete in the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
While the appeal existed, Rahm remained (technically, at least) a member in good standing with the tour. The Euros won an away Ryder Cup, Rahm contributed immensely and then he had one of his best, most settled offseasons.
But now, at the outset of the major championship season, the impasse continues, and amid different circumstances.
