Jon Rahm has finally appealed the European tour sanctions against him for playing Saudi-backed LIV Golf events. The appeal means the Spaniard is clear to play European tour events until an independent panel decides whether he must pay fines to be a member.

Other players who defected to LIV, Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk, are going through the same appeal and are allowed into tournaments as the process plays out.The European tour said in a statement, “Jon Rahm has a pending appeal against sanctions imposed on him and in accordance with the DP World Tour’s Regulations, he is eligible to participate in the later this month.
The appeals process is the same as it was when several Europeans first joined LIV Golf in the summer of 2022.“I’m glad Jon decided to appeal and he can play his events in which he wants to play and be eligible,” European captain Luke Donald said Thursday from the Irish Open. “I know the Ryder Cup means so much to him, and I’m sure that was a massive factor in his decision.”
