The 31-year-old contributed three points as Europe defeated the United States on American soil for the first time since 2012 at last year’s biennial event. He has also been on the winning team in three of his four matches.
It is no surprise that Captain Luke Donald – who chose Rahm as one of his six wildcard selections last year – is keen to have him on his team as he tries to become the first European captain to win three Ryder Cups.
“I didn’t think it would be good for anyone to take the legal route and go to court,” Rahm said.
“I have confidence in us and the DP World Tour that we will find a good solution.
“We keep talking to them and we keep trying to negotiate. I’ve given in a lot on some things. We’re going to work on it.”
“Right now, the DP World Tour is doing what they need to do and following the channels they need to follow, but I’m confident that the issue will be sorted out before we start in September.”
Rahm said he didn’t know if he was currently able to play in DP World Tour events, but it didn’t matter because he wasn’t planning on playing in any until the LIV season ended in August.
In that timeframe he will potentially be available to play in the Irish Open, which begins on September 9, and he has also been name-checked at a number of other events.
“I want to continue supporting the DP World Tour,” he said.
“I’m grateful to be a member. I’m grateful to support the Tour and play some amazing shows.
“The Irish Open has been great for me and I would love to come back.
“Wentworth has been fantastic every year, the Spanish Open, maybe even the Dunhill. We have some events like the French Open and [European Masters]. “These are events I would love to have the opportunity to play in.”
Rahm begins his quest to win a second Masters title at 18:08 BST on Thursday, joining his Ryder Cup teammate Ludwig Aberg and American Chris Gottrup.
US Vice President JD Vance warned Iran on Tuesday that Washington has not yet used “the tools that are in our toolkit” and that President Donald Trump’s administration could decide to use them if the Islamic Republic does not agree to a ceasefire proposal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
However, the White House pushed back against claims made on social media, saying that Vance was allegedly referring to “the US using nuclear weapons in Iran.”. “Vice President Vance didn’t mean literally anything he said here; you’re an absolute idiot,” the White House said in a post on Twitter.
The vice president said that there would be more attacks on Tehran if the Iranians “do not change their conduct”; however, he said he was “hopeful” that negotiations would avoid further deployments of “equipment.”
During his visit to Hungary, Vance said that “the United States has largely accomplished its military objectives” and added that there will be “a lot of conversations between now and then” when the U.S. deadline for Iran to finalise a deal and accept the U.S. proposal expires at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
“So, they’ve got to know there are tools in our toolkit that we have not yet decided to use. The President of the United States can decide to use them, and he will decide to use them if the Iranians do not change their course of conduct,” Vance said at a joint press briefing with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest.
Vance did not elaborate on the “equipment” he talked about that Washington has withheld from its military campaign against Tehran.
“We really want a world where oil and gas are flowing freely, where people can afford to heat and cool their homes, and where they can afford to drive themselves to work,” Vance said.

NASA’s Artemis 2 mission has accomplished another difficult milestone by restoring essential communications with mission control after dark about 40 minutes ago.
The Moon’s obstruction caused a complete loss of radio communications as the Orion spacecraft passed behind its far side.
This ‘loss of signal’ (LOS) time was a true test of both the crew’s ability to act independently and the spacecraft’s automated systems.
The crew re-established contact with Mission Control at 7:24 pm EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) on April 6, 2026, and reported that all systems were performing as expected.
This marks the furthest distance humans have ever travelled in deep space, and it also sets the stage for the mission’s return.
NASA’s orion Moon goes silent before seeing rare total solar eclipse
According to NASA, at 6:44 pm EDT on April 6, 2026, Orion moved behind the moon (blocking signals from NASA’s Deep Space Network), causing a communications blackout.
Orion then made its first close flyby of the Moon at 7:02 p.m. EDT, flying just 4,067 miles above the Moon’s surface.
After restoring communications with the spacecraft, the Artemis II mission entered its unique solar eclipse phase at 8:35 PM EDT, where the crew experienced a total solar eclipse (where the Moon completely covers the Sun) for 53 minutes from the perspective of Orion, giving them the opportunity to study the solar corona (the outer atmosphere of the Sun) without the interference of direct sunlight.
Orion surpasses historic deep-space record
At 7:07 p.m. EDT, the Artemis II crew officially broke the record for the previous distance travelled by humans from Earth. Orion reached its maximum distance from Earth at 252,756 miles and was 4,111 miles further than the Apollo 13 crew, which set out in April 1970, at 248,655 miles.
Artemis II achieved this milestone while its crew was conducting high-altitude lunar observations (collecting data on the Moon’s minerals and geology) using high-resolution imagery.
NASA is preparing for the April 10 splashdown
When Orion lifted off above the Moon at 7:25 p.m. EDT, the astronauts saw a beautiful ‘earthrise’ as mission control received the signal from Orion. Over seven hours,
The crew were able to use this observation period to visually confirm and record various parts of the Moon, such as the Orientale Basin and the Hertzsprung Basin.
The spacecraft is now on a free-return trajectory, which uses the gravity of Earth and the moon to send the crew back to the Pacific Ocean for a splashdown on April 10.
How NASA and the US Navy will retrieve Orion
NASA and the US Navy have begun the mission recovery phase to bring the crew home safely. USS John P. Murtha, a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship, has departed Naval Base San Diego to arrive at a designated recovery area.
The ship has specialised equipment, including a recovery cradle, high-speed boats and other equipment, specifically designed to retrieve the Orion capsule from the open ocean.
NASA’s Exploration Ground System team is on board to coordinate the ‘open ocean recovery’ operation.
Currently, Mission Control is waiting for the exact time of splashdown. The planned splashdown time is April 10 at 8:07 PM EDT (5:07 PM PDT). The planned location of the splashdown is also in the Pacific Ocean, about 60 miles off San Diego, California.
At the time of the splashdown, Navy divers will secure the capsule using a “horsecollar” to stabilise it before manoeuvring it into the flooded well deck of the USS John P. Murtha.
This process allows coordinated recovery operations, which will allow the safe recovery of the astronauts and the return of the spacecraft for post-flight analysis.
An expert shares advice for people struggling with sleep (stock photo). (Image: Getty)
A psychologist has offered guidance for those who wake up at 3am. Dr Michael J. Bruce is a clinical psychologist and sleep medicine expert who has gained popularity through her books and social media presence.
He is also the founder of ‘Sleep Doctor’ and frequently appears in TikTok videos of @Thesleepdoctor.
Why do you keep waking up at 3 in the morning? ” he asked in one post. The expert offered advice for those who wake up early in the morning and revealed there could be a ‘natural’ reason for their behaviour.
Dr Bruce said, “Many people wonder why people wake up between one and three in the morning. It’s your biology.
“Up until about 10:30 at night, your core body temperature rises, rises, rises, and then it starts to fall. That drop is a signal to your brain to release melatonin. The core body temperature then continues to fall, fall, fall.
“But at some point, it has to warm your body; otherwise, you’ll become hypothermic. This tends to happen between one and three in the morning, and everyone, everyone on Earth, is awake.”

However, if people find they struggle to get back to sleep after waking up, the psychologist said it could be a sign of a problem. Dr Bruce said, “Most people turn over and go back to sleep. However, some people continue to have another problem called insomnia.”
The NHS says: “Insomnia means you have trouble sleeping regularly.” This usually gets better by changing your sleeping habits,” the Health Service says everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but, on average, adults need seven to nine hours.
The advice says that if you feel constantly worn out, you probably won’t get enough sleep. Symptoms of insomnia include waking up several times during the night, difficulty falling asleep, waking up early, and feeling exhausted even after waking up.
Some common causes of insomnia include stress, noise, an uncomfortable bed, shift work, alcohol and sleeping in a room that is too hot or too cold.
The NHS said: “A GP will try to find out what is causing your insomnia so you can get the right treatment. Sometimes you will be offered cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This can be face-to-face with a therapist or through an online self-help programme.
The advice continued: “GPs now rarely prescribe sleeping pills to treat insomnia. Sleeping pills can have serious side effects and you may become dependent on them. Sleeping pills are only prescribed for a few days or weeks at most if your insomnia is very bad and other treatments are not working.”
More advice is available on the NHS website. Always talk to your GP about any health concerns you have.
American television presenter Savannah Guthrie is returning to NBC’s Today show on Monday for the first time since her mother disappeared more than two months ago.
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old, was last seen at her Arizona home on January 31 and was reported missing the next day.
Authorities say his blood was found on the front porch. The alleged ransom notes were sent to news outlets, but the payment deadline has passed.
Authorities believe she was kidnapped. During the investigation, the FBI released surveillance video showing a masked man on the porch that night.

Today, co-anchor Ms. Guthrie, 54, admitted she has changed since her mother disappeared, and it is difficult to move on without knowing what happened to her.
Despite a search that involved thousands of federal and local officials and volunteers, there has been no sign of the mother of three since she went missing.
In a video message released by her New York church on Easter Sunday, Ms Guthrie said she felt “a moment of deep despair toward God, a feeling of complete abandonment.”
But he said the resurrection is only fully celebrated when we acknowledge the feelings of loss, pain, and, yes, death.
He said, “Perhaps this is too deep a message to share on Easter morning, but I have long believed that we miss out on celebrating the Resurrection if we do not acknowledge the feelings of loss, pain, and, yes, death.”
Guthrie fears mother has been kidnapped because of her fame
In his closing message, he said, “I see a bright vision of the day when heaven and earth will cease to be as one, on earth as it is in heaven.
“When we celebrate today, that’s what we celebrate, and I celebrate too. I still believe. And so I say with conviction, ‘Happy Easter.'”
Announcing her return to NBC’s flagship morning show, Ms Guthrie said she was unsure whether she would feel like she still belonged there.
“It’s hard to imagine doing this work because it’s this place of joy and lightness,” she said in her first interview since her mother’s disappearance on Today a week ago.
“I can’t come back and try to be something I’m not. But I can’t come back because this is my family.”

Ms Guthrie, one of US morning television’s most recognisable faces, has been co-anchor on Today since 2012.
“I want to smile, and it will be real when I do,” she told broadcaster Hoda Kotb, who returned to Today to fill in for Ms Guthrie while she focused on the search.
“It’s a joy to be there, and I’ll say that when it’s not.”
FBI releases first surveillance photos from the night of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance
Nancy Guthrie made occasional appearances on Today over the years, once taking part in a cooking demonstration and surprising her daughter on the set.
When Savannah Guthrie returned to her hometown of Tucson for a segment recorded for the show last year, the pair partied at one of her favourite restaurants and talked about their love for Arizona.
The Guthrie family has been offered a $1 million (£754,000) reward for information leading to the return of their mother.
Both the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said late last week that they had no updates.
Initially, some media outlets reported receiving ransom messages related to the case.
Ms Guthrie said she and her siblings responded to two they believed to be genuine and offered to pay.
Ms. Guthrie speculated that her mother’s celebrity status may have prompted the move, but she found this possibility “too much to bear.”
Iraq head coach Graham Arnold couldn’t stop smiling and waving to the hundreds of Iraqi football fans gathered at Sydney Airport to welcome the Australian after guiding the Arab team to their first FIFA World Cup in 40 years.
As Arnold, 62, left the airport on Sunday night, jubilant Iraqis sang, danced to the beat of drums and tambourines, waved signs expressing their love for the coach and chanted his name.

Fans waved Iraqi and Australian flags and chanted “Arnie, Arnie, Arnie, Oui, Oui, Oui” while Arnold spoke to local media after returning from Mexico, where his team won the intercontinental playoff final against Bolivia on Tuesday.
The 2–1 victory came at a tumultuous time in Iraq, which was embroiled in the Middle East conflict, leaving many players stranded in different parts of the region and threatening to damage their campaign for the playoff tournament.
However, Iraq overcame a nightmare and strong South American opposition to mark their return to the global showpiece event for the first time since 1986.
The Mesopotamian lions also returned home with a hero’s welcome. Thousands of fans lined the streets of central Baghdad on Saturday and the players celebrated with their compatriots, sitting on top of a double-decker bus.
Arnold was not part of those celebrations but the Iraqi community in Australia made sure the coach did not feel left out.
“Crazy, crazy. I didn’t expect it here in Australia. Obviously in Iraq. But it’s unbelievable,” Arnold told Australian broadcaster SBS while standing in front of fans in the terminal.
“First of all, I want to apologise to everyone in Iraq that I couldn’t go back there to celebrate because of the airspace closure.
“It’s wonderful to see it here. Thank you very much.”
“I am very proud of the players and what they did; it is very important to please many Iraqis and that was the main thing.”
Australian media reports said that local Iraqi football fans learned of Arnold’s return flight from the Iraq Football Association (IFA) and decided to welcome him at the airport.
Fans could be seen chanting “One, one, one, Arnold number one” as the coach looked at the scenes around him.
Arnold, who was previously Australia coach, took charge of the Iraqi team in May and led them to three wins, three draws and two losses in their World Cup qualification campaign.
The results took Iraq to the fifth and final round of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) qualifying competition, where they defeated the United Arab Emirates 3–2 on aggregate in November and secured a place in the FIFA playoff tournament.
Earlier in March, the former Australian international urged FIFA to postpone Iraq’s playoff final or find a way to ensure players reached Mexico well in advance of the match as they grappled with the consequences of the US-Israel war over Iran.
His petition was heard as FIFA arranged a charter flight for the Iraqi team and support staff, who arrived in Mexico just a week before the 31 March final.
After his victory, Arnold praised the Iraqi players who had participated in the match while the war continued.
“Everything that’s going on in the Middle East has made it a bit difficult,” Arnold said after the play-off final.
“I have banned social media since the day we came here,” he said. “I didn’t want them to think about what was going on in the Middle East because they had to focus on the work we had here.”
Arnold said that qualifying for the World Cup was a huge privilege for the players. “Iraq has nothing to lose.”
Iraq will be placed in one of the toughest groups at the World Cup. Their opponents in Group I will be France, Norway and Senegal.
The Middle East team will face Norway in its opening match on June 16 in Boston. Their second match will be against 2018 champions France on June 22 in Philadelphia and their final group game against Senegal will be four days later in Toronto, Canada.
Manchester City assistant Pep Guardiola confirmed this weekend that Bernardo Silva will leave the club at the end of his contract.

Manchester City fans braced themselves for Bernardo Silva’s departure this summer and now the news has been confirmed. The 31-year-old has been an ever-present for the Blues, making 450 appearances and counting for Pep Guardiola’s men.
All those appearances have come under Guardiola and his assistant Pep. Legends admits it will be impossible to replace the 31-year-old. You never replace a player with another of the same type, as they do not exist. Bernardo Silva is unique,” he explained. “The way he controls games, the way he moves, the way he receives, the way he leads, the way he sees solutions.
“All these things. You never look for a replacement for one type of player. You look for someone who can grow with the team and fit into the starting XI.”
City will still need to sign at least one midfielder to fill the gap left behind by Bernardo. Men’s sports: The Blues could look at three options to replace their captain.
Leon Goretzka – Bayern Munich
The Germany international joined Bayern two years after Guardiola left the Bundesliga. He has been indispensable as the Bavarian club continues to dominate Germany. Goretzka is the same age as Bernardo and will add experience to a relatively young team next season.
His style is similar to Bernardo’s. Goretzka wants to take the ball forward and play forward passes at every opportunity, like Bernardo.
Goretzka would also be free to agree to leave Bayern at the end of his contract. The danger for City is that he hasn’t played as many minutes as Bernardo this season, nor has he played outside of Germany.
If Newcastle miss out on Champions League football, they have a tough time keeping Tonali. At 25, the Italian is entering the prime of his career and is fit enough to play for one of the top teams.
Tonali has been used primarily as a defensive midfielder this season but has the qualities to play alongside a holding player like Rodri. He doesn’t carry the ball as well as Bernardo but a large part of that is because he plays deeper in Eddie Howe’s system.
Like Bernardo, he is looking to make forward passes when he gets the ball and Guardiola could turn him into a substitute captain. The city will face trouble due to its price tag.
Newcastle CEO David Hopkinson insisted last week that clubs would need to play by their own terms in the transfer market but failed to specify a price tag for Tonali. Whether City will want to pay £80m plus for the Italy international remains to be seen.
Elliott Anderson – Nottingham Forest
Anderson could be a sage investment if the Wild are let go this season. Despite Forest’s struggles, the former Newcastle midfielder has had a fantastic season, and he is almost certain to depart the East Midlands in the summer.
Like Bernardo, Anderson’s strengths are progression and forward passes. However, he also wins a higher percentage of duels and enjoys significantly more possession than City’s current captain.
At 23, he’s also the youngest option on the roster, but he doesn’t lack experience. Compared to Bernardo, he struggles in moving the ball forward, but we can work on that.
If Forest avoid relegation, they will want £100m for Anderson. It’s a hefty sum, but the England international will add a new dimension to the city’s midfield.
