Rahm Accuses European Tour of Extortion

According to Rahm, the European tour is offering to waive fines for LIV Golf players who compete in their events, but only if they settle outstanding debts and commit to playing a minimum number of tournaments. The golfer from Vasco specifically stated he's being pressured to play six European tour events, with two chosen by the organization, to avoid sanctions.

Rahm has drawn a line at four tournaments, which is the minimum required to maintain his tour card, refusing to compete in additional events. He described the situation as "extortion," claiming players are being individually negotiated with rather than addressing the situation collectively.
