Jon Rahm calls for "tough" joint decision over LIV Golf players at Ryder Cup
Spanish World No. 5 Jon Rahm has called for a joint decision to be made over LIV Golf players' participation in the Ryder Cup.
Jon Rahm joked the past champions' dinner at The Masters might be a little tense as he called for a joint decision over LIV players' participation in the Ryder Cup.
The PGA Tour has indefinitely suspended players who have joined the breakaway tour which rules out the likes of Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka being selected.
It is unclear which European players will be selected in Luke Donald's side. The Englishman previously admitted his plans were a little bit "in limbo" until a court determines whether or not the DP World Tour can ban LIV players.
Speaking ahead of the Sentry Tournament of Champions on the PGA Tour, the Spanish World No.5 suggested that a joint decision is made over LIV Golf players' participation.
