Henrik Stenson could be in for an 'uncomfortable week' at the Abu Dhabi Championship according to the man who succeeded him as European Ryder Cup captain.
Last July, the former Open champion was dramatically sacked from his role after joining the rebel LIV Golf tour. The Swede duly responded by winning the LIV Golf Invitational at Bedminster, pocketing £3.3 million in the process, and pointedly said afterwards "I played like a captain."
In a further blow Stenson was dropped by the Swedish Golf Federation. In a released statement, the organisation said: "We believe that Henrik, given his involvement with LIV Golf, can no longer act as a role model for Swedish junior golfers."
