Rory Mcllroy stated that the absence of LIV players will not hamper Europe’s chances in the Ryder Cup this year.<\/p>\n
This claim comes after the news that Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter will not be eligible after their decision to withdraw from the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n
According to Mcllroy those LIV players will not have a significant bearing on the eventual outcome of the tournament.<\/p>\n
“No, I don’t think it would make a difference for us,” he said.<\/p>\n
Mcllroy will be part of Europe’s squad, that will try to regain the cup and make up for its humiliating 19-9 defeat by the US at Whistling Straits in 2021.<\/p>\n
The world No.2 begins the week three shots behind Scheffler with starting scores determined by where players stand in the FedEx Cup after the first two play-off events.<\/p>\n
And while McIlroy faces a challenge to take down the world number one at East Lake for the second year in a row, the 34-year-old is excited to focus on golf having become less “emotionally involved” in other activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
