The tour commissioner strikes Rahm’s name from the FedEx Cup eligibility points list in this manner, according to Golf Digest. The points from the four events Rahm has won are no longer relevant, which has an impact on the remaining standings.
Following his affiliation with other unapproved competitions, Jon Rahm has been advised that he is suspended and is no longer able to compete in PGA Tour tournaments, as per the PGA Tour’s announcement, which was picked up by NBC.
There has been an enormous change in the golf world after Saudi Arabian-based League of Legends (AL LIV) signed Jon Rahm in 2022. David Puig, Eugenio Lopez Chacarra, Sergio Garcia, and other national players are joined in this circuit by the Spaniard.
