John Ram has struck a deal with the DP World Tour that keeps his Ryder Cup hopes alive, but it comes at a cost.

The live golfer will pay $4.6 million in fines for playing conflicting events and commit to playing selected tour events this season to stay eligible.

I mean, it's just smart from him, isn't it?

4.6 is nothing compared to what he's getting paid by Liv.

Was he getting like $300 or $400 million a year or something?

Yeah, yeah.

So I think he's okay.

I think $4 million fine to remain playing in the DP World.

And obviously he'll probably return to DP World next year, I guess, in 27.

Yeah.

The DP World Tour and John Ram have come to an agreement on conditional releases to play in conflicting tournaments on Liv Golf during the remainder of the 2026 season, said DP World Tour spokesman.

Sure, good on you, DP World Tour spokesman.

Yes.

It's the equivalent.

It's the European PGA.

So what's the difference between Live, which is owned by the Saudis, and Dubai Ports?

No, no, no.

It's still PGA.

It's run by the PGA.

The PGA still run the European.
