Rahm was not 'willing to follow' LIV 2.0 path

Some players, including Brooks Koepka, have returned to the PGA Tour, which rewrote its rules in December to allow the five-time major winner to come back, subject to certain sanctions, including making a $5m (£3.7m) charitable donation as part of his return.

However, the American-based circuit closed its returning member programme on 2 February with Rahm remaining under long-term contract with LIV.

However, in May, he reached a deal with the DP World Tour to retain his membership of the European circuit and remain eligible for next year's Ryder Cup.

LIV golfers are automatically banned for a year by the PGA Tour. The DP World Tour offers a pathway and the leading 10 players currently gain access to PGA Tour membership.
