KNUTSFORD, WA (SNN-TV) – Henrik Stenson will no longer serve as the European captain at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, with the Swedish golfer announcing today that he will join LIV Golf.
In a statement posted to Twitter earlier today, Stenson wrote that LIV Golf officials had worked with him to ensure that he could fulfill his Ryder Cup obligations, but Ryder Cup Europe wasn’t willing to allow him to do it.
Ryder Cup Europe said a new captain would be named “in due course.” Stenson informed DP World Tour officials last night of his decision to join LIV Golf, reportedly signing a multiyear contract that could be worth as much as $40M.
Stenson is expected to make his debut in the next LIV Golf event at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey on July 29th.
