Jon Rahm has reached a conditional release agreement with the DP World Tour and will return to play on the circuit this season, after the Spaniard agreed to settle all his outstanding fines.
The DP World Tour confirmed that as part of the deal, Rahm was required to pay off all of his outstanding fines from 2024 to date, believed to be around $3m (£2.21m).
The news means that the Spaniard will now be eligible to qualify for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.
A spokesperson for the DP World Tour said: “The DP World Tour and Jon Rahm have come to an agreement on conditional releases to play in conflicting tournaments on LIV Golf during the remainder of its 2026 season.
“This involves payment of all outstanding fines accrued from 2024 to date, along with participation in agreed DP World Tour tournaments (outside the Majors) in the remainder of the 2026 season.”
Rahm revealed that both sides “had made concessions” as part of the agreement.
The news comes after the European Ryder Cup player announced in March that he had withdrawn his appeal against sanctions imposed by the DP World Tour for playing on the rival LIV Golf league.
Last week, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced that it would be cutting its funding to the breakaway golf league following the conclusion of the 2026 season.
In a statement released on Thursday, the PIF said that the “substantial investment required is no longer consistent” with the fund’s investment strategy moving forward.
