Jon Rahm, a Spanish golfer, will take part in this year's Ryder Cup with serious ambitions related to this tournament. The Europeans want to remove the curse from themselves and finally celebrate on away soil.
The Spanish golfer was close to losing the right to participate in the prestigious competition.
However, after appealing his DP World Tour penalty for joining LIV Golf, Rahm's case has been moved and is unlikely to be heard until next year.
This is also the reason why the Spaniard will be able to perform at the Ryder Cup on Bethpage Black this year.
Reporters were interested in the details of the case between him and the DP World Tour, but the Spanish golfer revealed that he still does not know when this case will be considered and what outcome he can expect.

"You know as much as I do," Rahm said, as quoted by Golf Magic.
Will it be after the Ryder Cup? one reporter asked.
"I have no idea," Rahm said.
"I have no clue. To be fair, I completely forgot about, which is a good thing. I hope I forget about it until it happens."
The 31-year-old stressed that his priority is to perform at this year's edition, with the aim of helping the Europeans win an important trophy.
"That's my goal," he said.
What can we expect?
Only time will tell how important Rahm will be to this team. The leader of this team will be Rory McIlroy, who is probably the strongest figure on the European team.
Rory showed dominance when he played in the Ryder Cup two years ago, and his performances on the PGA Tour this year also give reason for optimism to European fans and captain Luke Donald.

With just a few weeks left until the start of the Ryder Cup, it seems that European fans are much more excited than American fans.
