Rory McIlroy has told Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton to prove their loyalty to Team Europe by ending the fines saga that is threatening to see them exiled from the Ryder Cup. The LIV pair have so far refused to pay seven-figure sanctions imposed on them by the DP World Tour since their defections to the breakaway circuit two years ago. Beyond dispute is that whoever leads Europe at the next Ryder Cup will desperately hope to have Hatton and Rahm available. I've always been extremely proud to be a member on the DP World Tour, and certainly over the last couple of years, I've shown commitment to playing events here. And then with the Ryder Cup, I've been fortunate to play the last four.
