Guy Kinnings, the chief executive of the European Tour Group, has conceded a crucial appeals process involving Ryder Cup duo Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton may not be concluded before the event returns next September. Kinnings appears hopeful a deal to unite elite golf can be formalised before then, which in theory would negate the case Rahm and Hatton have against his organisation.
Rahm and Hatton have been heavily fined for playing on the LIV circuit without releases from the DP World, formerly European, Tour. In order to remain eligible for the Ryder Cup, the pair have appealed against the sanctions. They can play in Europe in the meantime.
