Henrik Stenson could be joined by two other big name stars in defecting to LIV Golf after the Swede was sensationally stripped of the Ryder Cup captaincy.
With the Swede set to be named as the latest capture for Greg Norman's rebel tour, Ryder Cup Europe appeared to get their retaliation in first, announcing they were terminating his tenure on Wednesday morning before the signing was officially confirmed. The offer to Stenson, thought to be in the region of £40 million, is being widely viewed as a direct attempt from Norman to disrupt the iconic team event.
Earlier in the day, LIV Golf had announced 45 of the 48 names who will compete in their third event in Bedminster, New Jersey, from July 29-31. It is now almost certain that Stenson, 46, will be filling one of the three vacant spots.
