Rory unsure about LIV member as Ryder captain
Rory McIlroy expressed reservations about the possibility of a LIV Golf member captaining Europe’s Ryder Cup team. While declining to give a definitive answer, McIlroy acknowledged the “complexity” surrounding the issue. Speculation has arisen about the eligibility of LIV players for future Ryder Cups due to the ongoing legal battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. McIlroy, who has been outspoken in his support of the PGA Tour, emphasized the need for a “unified” team and suggested that a LIV member as captain could “open up a can of worms.” The decision ultimately lies with Ryder Cup Europe, which will announce its captain for the 2027 event in Rome later this year.
