Justin Rose could not have been more to point in calling on Jon Rahm to pay the fines imposed upon him by DP World Tour to ensure his place in next year’s European Ryder Cup team.
As being reported by GolfByTourMiss and by evident in our very last post, Rahm is in bitter disagreement with the Tour over sanctions being imposed upon him and this despite seven other LIV Golf players having cordially agreeing to the terms.
Rose, who will be very much in contention to captain the 2029 European Team, was speaking to the media ahead of this week’s Players Championship and when his reaction to Rahm’s comments.

“Yeah, listen, I would like to see Jon — how many guys, eight? The other seven did it. So obviously eight did it and Jon didn’t,“ said Rose.
“So I mean, there’s pretty decent precedent that the deal wasn’t outrageous that they were proposing. But at the same time, I would like to see Jon pay his fines for sure and be a part of the Ryder Cup. For me, obviously playing on LIV was a decision that he made and wanted to make, and fair play to him for making it and good for him.
“He’s playing good golf out there. He’s winning. He’s making a lot of money, and he’s — you know, you can’t argue, can’t knock what he’s been able to achieve out there. So I would just see it as a cost of doing business for Jon.
“Like for me, being in the Ryder Cup is more than about money. What I would say, where he may have a point is the Tour making him play extra events.
“Maybe he has a point there. So maybe there’s some middle ground where he would do his best to support the Tour as and when, but not necessarily have that hung over his head, but paying his fines is obviously step No. 1.“
