Jon Rahm wouldn't necessarily exclude LIV Golf defectors from this year's Ryder Cup if the choice were his—but he does believe that's the judgement that's already been made.
The 2021 U.S. Open champion has spoken in the past of his desire to see Spanish compatriot Sergio Garcia and other PGA pariahs given a reprieve for the Ryder Cup. However, a recent piece of activity on social media (or lack thereof) has him convinced "the decision has been made."
"I think the Ryder Cup posted a video of [Francesco] Molinari on his birthday, right? Like they were doing that," said Rahm during a recent appearance on the No Laying Up podcast. "The day before I knew it was Sergio’s birthday and they didn't do it, so I think the decision has been made for me."
