Lee Westwood has addressed his fears about being banned from the Ryder Cup, after joining up with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series. The inaugural event of the controversial breakaway circuit kicks off this week at the Centurion Club in St Albans.
One man who will be there competing is Westwood, after the Englishman’s name was included on the entry list last week. Those who have pledged their allegiance to the series have seemingly put both their PGA Tour and Ryder Cup careers on the line, with bans threatened to those who compete.
Westwood - who competed in 11 Ryder Cups - had been hotly tipped to be a future captain for the European’s, however this could now be in doubt following his LIV Golf commitment.
