The Spanish Jon Rahm stated this Wednesday, on the eve of playing in the final individual tournament of LIV Golfin Chicagowith the “intention to play at Spain“, but whether they “let him play or not is another matter.”
“I keep talking to him DP World Tour. I intend to play in Spain. I am registered in the contest. We signed up a long time ago. Whether they let me play or not is another matter,” Rahm said of the Bolingbrook club.
“I don’t really like fines. I think I have already said it openly. I have no intention of paying the fines, and we are still trying to talk to them about how we can do it,” said Rahm, referring to the financial penalties involved in playing the DP World Tour as it is integrated into LIV Golf.
“I have said many times: I am not going to the Spanish Open for glory or for anything. I think it is my duty to Spanish golf to go there, and I also want to play Sotogrande (Andalusian Masters). At that point, it is almost doing a disservice not only to me, but to Spanish golf, to not let me play,” insisted the Biscayan.
“That’s why we’re trying to talk to them to make it happen. I also want to play in Dunhill (championship). I have a good friend who asked me to play, and (tournament organizer) Johan (Rupert) has been a great ambassador for golf, I would love to be able to play in all those tournaments,” he revealed.
