"The short-term ramifications are few and far between, as this won’t impact the 2025 match at Bethpage Black in September, but the long-term repercussions could be devastating for both the league and the European Ryder Cup team. If players are forced to pay their own fines – something Jon Rahm reportedly has “no intention” of doing – that would only further hamper LIV’s ability to sign top talent, something they haven’t been able to do since inking Rahm’s signature in 2023. As for the Ryder Cup, European players must be DP World Tour members to be eligible for qualification or selection. If both the league and its players don’t pay fines, an uncomfortable game of chicken is sure to follow.

"If the DP World Tour stands its ground, the 2027 team in Ireland could be without a handful of its best players if they don’t pay their own way. On the flip side, “There would be outrage if the (DP World Tour) caved in,” an insider told the Telegraph. “The point is that the (DP World Tour) fully expected the peace negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Saudis to have been settled by now, so they kicked this can down the road happy in the belief it wouldn’t matter. But with no deal in the pipeline – anything but, in fact – there is a huge problem looming.”

"Given their past praise of the biennial bash against the Americans, I would be shocked if the likes of Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton didn’t pony up their own fines to keep DP World Tour membership. Rahm has already overplayed his hand and misunderstood his influence in the game once, and I just don’t see any legitimate contender for the European squad standing on principle when the time comes in 2027."
