Jon Rahm believes the Ryder Cup cannot be diluted by the exclusion of LIV rebels and is adamant that the best players from America and Europe should feature in Rome.
The build-up to next year’s biennial battle in the Italian capital is dominated by the fractious nature of men’s professional golf as the civil war surrounding the Saudi-Arabian backed LIV Golf series rumbles on. Europe’s star player Rory McIlory has remained consistent in his forthright claims that players who have defected to LIV should not be involved in any capacity in Rome.
But Rahm, set to be another leading member of the European team, disagrees with McIlroy and suggested the event should not be billed as a clash of rival tours.
