Henrik Stenson out as Ryder Cup captain with sources confirming he will join LIV Golf
Sweden's Henrik Stenson will no longer serve as the European captain at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, with sources confirming to ESPN that he is preparing to join LIV Golf.
In a statement Wednesday, Ryder Cup Europe confirmed that Stenson would not serve as its captain next year.
"In light of decisions made by Henrik in relation to his personal circumstances, it has become clear that he will not be able to fulfill certain contractual obligations to Ryder Cup Europe that he had committed to prior to his announcement as captain on Tuesday March 15, 2022, and it is therefore not possible for him to continue in the role of captain," the statement said.
