Amid Wife’s Pregnancy Complications, Jon Rahm’s Ryder Cup Tension Finds Major Relief from DP World Despite LIV Affiliation
We all know about the drama that has been going down with Jon Rahm and his decision not to pay fines imposed by the DP World Tour for competing in LIV Golf events. Rahm was pretty adamant about not paying the fines, which are estimated to be worth $1 million. He even said, “I’m not a big fan of the fines” and was looking forward to working that out with the tour officials, and it kind of worked in his favor.
As per the latest post by Flushing Golf, Rahm has formally appealed the penalties imposed on him by the DP World Tour. As a result, he is now cleared to participate in the upcoming Spanish Open and other essential tournaments. This will also ensure that he meets the requirements to retain his tour membership and remain eligible for selection to the 2025 Ryder Cup team, which is pretty rare for any LIV golfer as we all know their struggles getting selected in the Ryder Cup team.
The post read,”Jon Rahm has officially appealed against his sanctions on the DP World Tour. This means he is now eligible to compete in the Spanish Open and any other events needed to maintain membership of the tour and be eligible for Ryder Cup selection in 2025.” Recently, Rahm also said that his participation in the Spanish Open is not driven by his need to win the tournament or personal gain rather, he believes as a Spaniard it is his responsibility to play in the Spanish Open. Speaking of responsibilities, the golfer and his wife are on the way to welcome their third baby.
But before this month, the golfer was quite skeptical if he would have a chance to play in the upcoming tournament or not because of his wife Kelley Cahill’s challenging pregnancy. As per the golfer, Cahill has had a very struggling time with their third baby on the way but everything is better now.
Jon Rahm’s thoughts on his wife’s challenging pregnancy
As we all know the journey to becoming a parent is never an easy one as it has a lot of bumps down the road and Jon Rahm and his wife have had their fair share of them. Recently, Rahm revealed that he and his wife went through a rough patch over 2 months with his wife’s pregnancy. “She’s doing really good. There was a dark moment there with the pregnancy,” said the golfer.
After a lot of struggles throughout the pregnancy, things are finally getting better. And it is a good thing especially for Rahm because he can finally fix his mind on the game while being there for his wife and the golfer has quite a plan for that. The golfer also revealed that due to the complications during the pregnancy, the baby’s due date is uncertain as of now. If the baby doesn’t arrive early, they may induce labor after Rahm competes in the LIV Golf Team Championship in Dallas from September 20-22. “It could be a case where I go home, deliver the baby, and then fly Tuesday or Wednesday to Madrid,” said the golfer.
Fans are congratulating the golfer on two fronts, the upcoming arrival of his third baby and his participation in the Spanish Open, where they hope he’ll emerge victorious! Do you think Rahm will take home the trophy in his home country? Let us know in the comment section below!
