Henrik Stenson Is Going To JOIN The LIV Golf Tour... Here's Why

Welcome back to Sporting Focus, today on the channel we are going to check out Henrik Stenson set to be stripped of Ryder Cup captaincy and join LIV Golf Invitational Series + other related golf news. Henrik Stenson is expected to be imminently stripped of his Ryder Cup captaincy, with the Swede poised to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series. The 2016 Champion Golfer of the Year, who is set to lead Team Europe in next September's edition of the biennial contest, has been regularly linked with the Greg Norman-fronted tour. Stenson told reporters that his schedule for the remainder of the year was "undecided" after missing the cut on Friday at The Open in St Andrews. The 46-year-old now set to commit to the breakaway circuit.

Stenson, a five-time Ryder Cup player, was announced as Team Europe's captain in March, with Zach Johnson to lead Team USA in Italy next year. Johnson has already confirmed that LIV Golf players will not be eligible for US Ryder Cup qualification. New Champion Golfer of the Year Cameron Smith has previously been rumoured to be considering the breakaway circuit, with the Australian refusing to deny speculation about his golfing future in the media conference after his one-shot victory at St Andrews. Cameron Smith is not the only named being linked with a move to LIV Golf. Tommy Fleetwood, Hideki Matsuyama, Marc Leishman and Bubba Watson are all reportedly in discussions to join the break-away league. However, Sky Sports News have spoken to Fleetwood. He has insisted reports of his defection are untrue. Players who joined the circuit are suspended indefinitely by the PGA Tour, while the DP World Tour issued £100,000 fines for those competing in the opening event of the inaugural season. This leaves limited playing opportunities for LIV Golf members outside their own events.
