Henrik Stenson claims he is willing take a lie detector test to disprove allegations that he used the Ryder Cup captaincy as a leveraging tool before signing with LIV Golf.
The Swede became maligned by European fans after accepting an offer from the controversial LIV rebel series - meaning he was stripped from the prestigious role that is seen as one of the biggest honours in the sport.
Stenson shocked golf in July when he gave up on his chance to lead Europe against the USA in next September's biennial showdown in Italy to join Greg Norman's Saudi-backed invitational series.
