Luke Donald is elated that Jon Rahm and the DP World Tour have reached an agreement to settle their long-standing fines dispute, with the European Ryder Cup captain adding "even brothers fight".

Donald also believed there was a scenario in which he could have been forced to step in to build bridges between Rahm's future Ryder Cup team-mates or the DP World Tour, had a resolution not been found.

Rahm is now eligible to be selected for the 2027 Ryder Cup, after he paid all his outstanding fines owed to the DP World Tour, which were imposed on him for playing in LIV Golf events.Those penalties were believed to be around $3m (£2.21m).
