United States Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson has admitted LIV Golf players are "technically eligible" to compete in this year's match-play tournament at Marco Simone in Rome.
Since the breakaway circuit formed last summer, one of the hottest topics surrounding LIV has been whether its players will feature at the Ryder Cup. Having been suspended from the PGA Tour following their Saudi switch, LIV stars have slumped down the Ryder Cup qualification standings.
This ban is of course only implemented by the PGA Tour, not the PGA of America, the organisation in charge of the American Ryder Cup setup. This therefore means they remain eligible for selection as one of Johnson's six captain picks come selection time.
