As the Swede prepares to play in the LIV Golf Series, which is supported by Saudi Arabia, Henrik Stenson is anticipated to lose his role as Ryder Cup captain very soon.
The 2016 Champion Golfer of the Year, who will represent Team Europe in the biennial competition in September, has frequently been connected to the Greg Norman-led tour.
After failing to make the cut on Friday at The Open in St. Andrews, Stenson informed media that his schedule for the remainder of the year was “undecided.”
The 46-year-old is now prepared to dedicate himself to the breakaway circuit.
Five-time Ryder Cup competitor Stenson was named Team Europe’s captain in March. Zach Johnson will captain Team USA in Italy in 2019.
LIV Golf players will not be eligible for US Ryder Cup qualification, according to Johnson.
Smith might be the most recent huge champion to join
In the press conference following his one-shot triumph at St. Andrews, Australia’s Cameron Smith, the new Champion Golfer of the Year, would not confirm rumours that he was exploring the breakaway circuit.
When asked about joining LIV Golf immediately after his win at The Open, Smith said: “I just won the British Open, and you’re asking about that. I think that’s pretty not that good.
Smith, who is now exempt in all four majors until 2027, added: “I don’t know, mate. My team around me worries about all that stuff. I’m here to win golf tournaments.”

Not joining LIV Golf is Fleetwood
Not just Cameron Smith has been mentioned in connection with a move to LIV Golf. According to reports, Tommy Fleetwood, Hideki Matsuyama, Marc Leishman, and Bubba Watson are all in talks to join the split league.
However, Fleetwood was contacted by Sky Sports News. Reports of his defection, he has said, are incorrect.
