The 26-year-old Dane isn’t interested in joining the competition because he’s only ever wanted to be part of the PGA Tour and make the European squad for the Ryder Cup.

He told Today’s Golfer magazine: “I had a few calls from LIV Golf in the last year but that’s never really been what I’ve wanted to do.

“I wanted to get on the PGA tour, I want to play in the Majors and I want to play Ryder Cups.

“That’s more of my motivation than any pay cheque.”

Rasmus will play in The Masters for the first time this month, which he has hailed as a “dream come true”.

He said: “My dream has always been to play in the Masters, contend in the Masters, and hopefully one day win the Masters.

“So being able to go there this spring is like a dream come true.

“That drives me more than the whole economic aspect of it.

“Obviously, I don’t think one eliminates the other.

“If I do all the stuff that I want to do in my career on the PGA Tour and in the Majors, I’m going to be completely content.

“But it’s not the money that drives me – it’s playing in the biggest events.”
