Join now and get your first month for just $1.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe situation is different now,\u201d a source told Golf Digest.<\/p>\n
Rahm, 31, joined LIV Golf in late 2023 on a reported $US300 million ($A415m) contract after previously publicly shooting down rumors linking him to the move.<\/p>\n
The two-time major champion has desired to continue playing DP World Tour events while remaining with LIV Golf, something he needs to do to be Ryder Cup eligible.<\/p>\n
But the DP World Tour wants him to play in six events and dictate two of those events.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what game they\u2019re trying to play right now, but it just seems like in a way they\u2019re using our impact in tournaments and fining us and trying to benefit both ways from what we have to offer,\u201d Rahm said in March. \u201c[It\u2019s] just in a way they\u2019re extorting players like [me] and young players that have nothing to do with the politics of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I don\u2019t like the situation and I\u2019m not going to agree to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Rahm may have no choice but to agree to whatever the DP World Tour wants if LIV Golf goes under.<\/p>\n
Rahm bolting for LIV came several months after LIV and the PGA Tour announced a framework agreement to join forces that never ended up materializing.<\/p>\n
When Rahm made the move, the PGA Tour was \u201ccaught flat-footed,\u201d per Golf Digest.<\/p>\n
Rahm, along Bryson DeChambeau and Cam Smith, then had the opportunity to take the same path back that Koepka did \u2014 and opted not to follow through.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re interested in having the best players who can help our tour,\u201d Rolapp told The Wall Street Journal. \u201cNot every player can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Rahm certainly fits that definition, lingering resentment could make the process painful.<\/p>\n
Players who joined the antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour, like Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson, will face \u201cadditional scrutiny,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
