The 2023 Ryder Cup, a golf tournament pitting golf stars from the United States against the best from Europe, concludes on Sunday, October 1, 2023 (10/1/23) at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy.
GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy — LIV Golf defections have cut off European stalwarts from the Ryder Cup, some of them for the first time in three decades. Rory McIlroy said Wednesday they are missing the Ryder Cup more than Team Europe is missing them.
McIlroy caught himself briefly, aware his comments would be interpreted as another dig at the defectors, especially given the combative tone he has taken against LIV Golf since the rival league started up a year ago in June. Brooks Koepka made it back to the Ryder Cup, though only through an extraordinary performance in the majors, his only access to Ryder Cup points. He was runner-up at the Masters and won the PGA Championship.Team Europe had eight players at Whistling Straits at the last Ryder Cup who since went over to LIV Golf. Westwood, Garcia, Poulter, Paul Casey and Bernd Wiesberger played in the matches. McDowell, Stenson and Martin Kaymer were vice captains.
“It doesn’t mean we’re any less confident,” he said. “We do have plenty of experience. We have natural leaders. It means people are stepping into a role a lot sooner.”
