Rory McIlroy has challenged Tyrrell Hatton and Jon Rahm to "prove" their commitment to Europe's Ryder Cup team by settling their multi-million pound fines from the DP World Tour.
England's Hatton and Spaniard Rahm were fined for competing in conflicting LIV Golf events while remaining members of the European-based tour.
