It’s a silly loop hole - the appeal didn’t work for Garcia etc so why is it going to work for Hatton and Co.
Get the appeal sorted asap and then the players know where they stand

best solution imo is have 8 events that are across the world
1 in
North America
South America
Europa
Japan
Aus
South Africa
China
Main final in Middle East
Top 75 in the world play in them
Have an overall winner for the big bucks
And then the players play on other tours in between

Yep, you're right - Brooks and DJ / Rory and Scottie aren't going to play 28 times a year plus majors - but between the two elite tours you could rotate the inclusion of the players to add plenty of interest with the added spice of a bit of tour rivalry, which we've already seen multiple times.

How do they calculate viewing figures?
And could figures be down due to dodgy firesticks?
I know so many people that cancelled sky & use them.

Sorry, just needed to quote this superb post
No doubt the below was written for a reaction, but interesting to allege the players have been encouraged to appeal from within ...

Tom's info will be correct, he's well connected with multiple people at LIV, and has built up a trusting relationship with quite a few people there.
It's an interesting scenario right?

What a farce. Guys on DPWT can't pop over to LIV to play events when they feel like it so why should LIV players be able to play on DPWT. They have all made their choices now they have to live with it. Rahm, Hatton etc should not be considered for the Ryder Cup.

I wonder if any of the players look inwards at themselves and think about the all the issues that have been created and wonder if they understand the part they have played in it
Or maybe they don’t really care as they are too busy counting their money
They wanted to leave the tours to go play on LIV tour for the vast amount of money on offer
When they moved they knew what would happen and clearly weighed up if it was worth it and made that choice
As with anything in life they made the choice that suited them
They got a big slice of the cake - go and enjoy that instead of looking to come back and grab more

Golf has always been a very insular sport but I imagine they have thought about their actions and had discussions with friends families and management about their decision. Once they decide to leave the DP tour they should not be considered for the RC but we then have accept we are going to be severely weakened and realise we will be losing more than we win going forward as there isn't the strength in depth to cope without the likes of Rahm

I seem to remember that the Euro's changed the rules for qualifying when they lost all their top player's to the PGA,
so that they could pick their best team.
Maybe they should drop anyone who does not play DPWT exclusively.

Weren't the original Rules Great Britain v USA.

Why
Works very well right now
The players know what is required to be on the team and it’s up to the players to decide
Even before LIV came along players had a choice and some like Casey decide against playing in the Ryder cup
If a player wants to represent Europe then the qualifying criteria is nice and clear

Yes it’s pretty much set that it’s Europe vs USA and that players need to be members of the European Tour ( DPT ) and fulfill their qualifying criteria
