After what Jon Rahm shocked the world a few days ago by changing his mind and announcing his departure from the PGA Tour to Saudi LIV Golf, accepting a multimillion-dollar offer that silenced everyone, the PGA Tour made a formality on Monday by notifying that the player of Barrel was suspended for signing “due to his participation in unauthorized tournaments,” according to a statement to players from the PGA Tour commissioner, in which he stated removing Jon Rahm’s name from the FedEx Cup qualifying points rankings.
More than Rahm, this directly affects other golfers, such as Hughes, who went from 51st to 50th place, taking the place that Jon left, so he now becomes eligible for seven $20 million events in 2024. Before this, Hugues, outside the Top-50, was only guaranteed a place in the first two 20 million events.
It also means Yuan, who signed up for Q-school this week, moves up to number 125 and thus has a full PGA Tour card for next year.
For his part, Alex Smalley will move to position 60 and thus secure two 20 million events.
