Lee Westwood and DP World Tour chief Keith Pelley are set to come face-to-face in golf's crucial legal battle this week.
Westwood is one of 13 LIV Golf rebels making a case at a five-day arbitration hearing in London that will decide their future on the DP World Tour. LIV players are battling to stay on the European circuit in a legal dispute that concerns the Tour's conflicting event release regulations.
A three-strong panel will determine whether the Tour will be able to suspend players, including Westwood and fellow Ryder Cup veteran Ian Poulter, from future events. And the outcome of the behind-closed-doors hearing at Sports Resolutions will likely decide whether Westwood and his fellow LIV rebels will be banned from competing in the Ryder Cup.
