European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has dealt a huge blow to LIV Golf stars Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood after hinting at forming a new-look team.
It still remains to be seen as to whether players who joined the breakaway series will be able to compete in Rome next year. The LIV roster includes a number of big Ryder Cup names, most notably Poulter, Westwood and Garcia who have been pivotal to Europe's success in the 2000's and 2010's.
Whilst the European stalwarts are closer to the end of their careers' than the start, they are no doubt still keen to compete in blue and gold. Whether it comes down to Donald remains to be seen, as LIV players could be barred from competing before it gets to the captain's selection time.
