DP Tour won't change LIV player appeal dates

Chief executive Guy Kinnings insists the DP World Tour will not influence the timing of players' appeals against fines imposed for playing LIV events in order to keep them eligible for the Ryder Cup.Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk have all appealed against the monetary sanctions handed down for competing on the Saudi-funded breakaway without permission.That means they are allowed to play enough DP World Tour events this season to retain their membership and be eligible for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage.No date or deadline has been set for the appeal, leading two-time DP World Tour winner Eddie Pepperell to suggest that it will not take place until after Europe's bid for a first win on American soil since 2012."I think the hearing, from what I've heard, is not going to take place until after the Ryder Cup, conveniently for probably all sides," Pepperell said on The Chipping Forecast podcast.Speaking to a group of reporters during the BMW PGA Championship, Kinnings said: "There are those that may have said that to you."There are others who have looked at it and said, 'Hey we're glad that what you're doing is enforcing the rules that apply to all of the members'."At the end of the day, there's a legal process.

The lawyers involved will dictate the legal process as to when it gets done."There's one of two things - have the appeal and the decision gets made by the legal process, but in parallel with that there will be ongoing conversations about the future of the game which may or may not impact how things like the fines and that process gets handled."Asked if the appeals process was a tactic to play for time, Kinnings added: "That's not the reason we've done it.
