Jon Rahm has stated that the Ryder Cup should be a competition between the best of Europe and USA, regardless of current LIV Golf status.<\/p>\n
Rahm comments come after the news broke out fellow Spaniard Sergio Garcia will not be taking place in the upcoming event.<\/p>\n
“It’s sad politics have got in the way of such a beautiful event,” said Rahm.<\/p>\n
Garcia is the record-breaking points scorer in Europe and the last time he was paired with Rahm in the Ryder Cup was in 2021, where he went undefeated in three matches.<\/p>\n
“Again, it’s the best Europeans against the best Americans, period,” added Rahm. “And whatever is going on, who is playing LIV and who is not playing LIV to me shouldn’t matter.<\/p>\n
“It’s whoever is best suited to represent the European side. I have a hard time to believe that the best player Europe has ever had, the most successful player Europe has had on the Ryder Cup, isn’t fit to be on the team.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
