Jon Rahm leaps to Sergio Garcia's defence after Ryder Cup snub
Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia
Jon Rahm is going to miss Spanish compatriot Sergio Garcia at the upcoming Ryder Cup.
Speaking to Golf Monthly, a dejected Rahm made no bones about the current situation between LIV Golf and the more established tours.
"I'm going to miss him... we had a great partnership at Whistling Straits," said the Spaniard of Garcia, who has been a part of the event for 24 years.
"I'm going to mention history again one more time. A Spanish duo in the Ryder Cup I think to me is embedded into the roots of the Ryder Cup. Look with Seve [Ballesteros] and Ollie [José María Olazábal] were able to do throughout their partnership, right. So it's a little sad to me that politics have gotten in the way of such a beautiful event.
"It's whoever is best suited to represent the European side. And I have a hard time to believe that the best player Europe has ever had, the most successful player Europe has had on the Ryder Cup isn't fit to be on the team."
