The Spaniard, w💟ho plays on the LIV circuit, needs to play three events on th🤡e DP World Tour before the end of the season in November to be available for selection.
The Spanish Open looks to be the most likely solution for the two-time major winner, but he has not🅺 ꦿyet submitted an entry, which would need to be in by September 12.
If he fails t𓄧o meet the requirements needed for his tour membership, Luke Donald will not be able to call on him, even for one of the wild card spots, as Europe look to defend their trophy at Bethpage next Septe🍌mber.
Rose believes not having Rahm in the team wou🌊ld be a huge blow to Team Europe's chances in New York♒ last year, but understands the Tour's need to enforce the regulations.
"No matter where theꦏ world rankings say he is or the golf that he is competing against, we know what a great player he is," Ros🐽e said, speaking after an event at Brocket Hall.
"My point is you want him on the team. There is a pathway f♑or him to play the Ryder Cup if he wants it.
"I think ♐that's all the DP World Tour can do, and they have their interests to protect, and I still think that it is a doable situation should the player want to choose to do it.&q♌uot;
