European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has admitted his preparations have been left "in limbo" with Rory McIlroy calling for LIV Golf stars not to be selected.
Preparations for the host team were thrown into chaos in the summer when Henrik Stenson, the initial captain, was stripped of the role over his defection to the Saudi-backed tour. The Swede has since argued he'd come to agreement with LIV that would have enabled him to still fulfil the role.
In further blows to Team Europe, tournament icons Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood have already jumped ship. Two other members of the team beaten in Wisconsin last year, Paul Casey and Bernd Wiesberger, as well as former vice-captains Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell, have also signed.
