LIV rebel Henrik Stenson eyeing Ryder Cup spot despite captaincy axe - "Irony of ironies"

Henrik Stenson is still eyeing a spot in Europe's Ryder Cup setup despite being sacked as captain. The Swede was put in charge of the Europeans last March, but dramatically lost his job as skipper just four months later.

The Swede was sacked from his role after making the controversial decision to join the LIV Golf Series. His dismissal was no doubt a bitter pill to swallow having represented his continent on five occasions as a player.

The 2016 Open champion and former world No. 2 has since been replaced, with England Luke Donald now the man in charge of Team Europe ahead of this year's event in Rome.
