As the Ryder Cup race intensifies, European captain Luke Donald offered little clarity on the fate of Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. Speaking at the PGA Championship, Donald was asked whether he had any update on the LIV pair’s appeal to remain eligible for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. “I have had zero conversations,” Donald said. “That’s a question for Guy Kinnings. I do not get involved with the politics of that. So my concentration is to get the best 12 players to New York, and hopefully everyone is eligible.”

Donald, leading the European side, now faces a potentially significant blow if Rahm and Hatton are ruled out due to their LIV status. Meanwhile, U.S. captain Keegan Bradley has been open about his desire to include LIV players like Bryson DeChambeau—who’s already making a strong case with his Masters performance. If Rahm is sidelined, Europe could lose more than just talent—it could lose its edge.
