Sergio García made plain his disquiet with the DP World Tour, formerly known as the European Tour, after his fourth round at the Open. García’s imminent resignation from this tour will remove him from future Ryder Cups as player, vice-captain or captain.
There will be further turmoil for the European Ryder Cup scene if increasing speculation linking Henrik Stenson with the rebel LIV tour comes to fruition. Stenson is Europe’s captain for 2023 in Rome but would be immediately stripped of that title if he aligns himself with LIV. Stenson has repeatedly refused the opportunity to distance himself from a LIV switch.
