LIV Golf still has $13 million to settle with the DP World Tour after failing to strike a deal that would clear all outstanding fines.

Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton are the highest-profile names currently locking horns with the DP World Tour. The European duo have lodged appeals in order to keep their thin 2025 Ryder Cup hopes alive.

Rahm’s appeal was filed at the last minute in order for the two-time major winner to participate in next week’s Spanish Open. Rahm will also compete at the Alfred Dunhill Links and Andalucia Masters.

However, it’s not just Rahm who has debts to settle.

Sports Illustrated’s Bob Harig revealed on Monday [September 16] that LIV Golf sought to strike a deal which would clear penalties for breakaway league players; the DP World Tour refused.

As a result, outstanding fines remain, and it’s believed that $13 million is still due. Furthermore, to date, $15.75 million has already been paid to the DP World Tour.

Rahm’s debt is currently just over $1 million. The Spaniard is reluctant to pay because fines are handed out for events he would never usually play in.

The Wentworth-based tour has fined LIV players for every breakaway league event that conflicts with regular DP World Tour tournaments.

European stars share thoughts on Jon Rahm’s DP World Tour saga

Luke Donald is relieved Rahm has appealed, but it still feels like a lot needs to be worked out before the Spaniard’s Ryder Cup participation can be confirmed.

The DP World Tour has set out its stall from the start, and it’s hard to envisage any leeway being made for Rahm, particularly after the latest LIV offer was declined.

Padraig Harrington says Rahm must pay his fines, and it’s difficult to disagree with the Irishman at this point.

The rules are clear, and there’s a route back should Rahm wish to take it. Clearly, this standoff is far more than the $1 million sanction. Both parties are seemingly reluctant to drop their case, which could see Europe’s star man watching on from the sidelines at Bethpage Black.
