Former world number one Jon Rahm has appealed the DP World Tour fines imposed on him for playing in LIV Golf events. Rahm, who plans to contest four DPWT events this season including the Spanish Open, Dunhill Links Championship, and Andalucia Masters, believes there will be no issues with team spirit if he and Tyrrell Hatton make the Ryder Cup team.

“The first issue was to try to get Jon eligible, Tyrrell and some of those guys eligible so I had the chance to pick them on my team. The whole camaraderie and culture, that can be worked on next year.
