When joining LIV Golf last summer, players making the controversial move were issued a long list of career consequences that could well be coming their way.
Firstly was losing the chance to play PGA Tour golf again, having had their memberships suspended by commissioner Jay Monahan. The second was never being able to return to the Ryder Cup arena, but these were risks the rebels were willing to make.
In the case of the Europeans, their Ryder Cup bed has for the most part already been laid after four of their greatest stars in Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, and Henrik Stenson announced their resignation from the DP World Tour, ending their Team Europe careers as both players and future captains.
