The upcoming Ryder Cup will be the first without any of Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia or Ian Poulter.
RORY MCILROY ON has said European stalwarts absent from this week’s Ryder Cup in Rome after joining LIV Golf will be “missing being here more than we’re missing them”.
“It’s certainly a little strange not having them around,” McIlroy, who has been an ever-present at the Ryder Cup since making his debut in 2010, told reporters. “It’s just more I think this week is a realisation that the decision that they made has led to not being a part of this week, and that’s tough,” the Northern Irishman clarified.“The landscape in golf is ever-changing and more dynamic, and we’ll see what happens and whether they will be part of it in the future.”
The four-time major champion read out those quotes in a social media video released by the European team earlier this week, jokingly asking “who said that?”. Justin Rose, who missed out on selection two years ago, is the elder statesman this time around at 43.
