Sergio Garcia and Graeme McDowell last night appealed to the DP World Tour to allow them to keep playing through golf’s civil war - and for the European Ryder Cup team.
The launch of the new LIV Golf Invitational in Hertfordshire yesterday was overshadowed by the PGA Tour banning all 17 members who had teed up without permission. The news came just 30 minutes after the glitzy big tee off in a premeditated PR counter strike as the battle for golf’s soul - and cash - got dirty.
But former US Open winner McDowell revealed he had quit the America tour just half an hour before his round. And Europe’s record Ryder Cup scorer Garcia, who resigned last week, said he now wants to play the eight LIV events, the Majors and selected DP World events. If he is not banned in Europe too.
