The Ryder Cup is on the horizon and looks more spicy than ever following the turmoil golf has found itself engulfed by since the last tournament.

Some of the world’s finest players have departed the PGA Tour for the controversial LIV Golf series, but the players who joined the breakaway tour are not automatically ruled out of the Ryder Cup in 2023.

Big decisions must be made between now and the tournament itself as to whether Team Europe and Team USA go into battle with or without their LIV Golf counterparts.

Both teams have alternated in lifting the Ryder Cup trophy with Europe triumphing in 2014 and 2018, and USA hoisting it high in 2016 and 2021 – a delayed tournament from 2020 due to COVID restrictions.

Seven of the last eight tournaments have been won by the host nation, a run stretching back to 2006, with Europe’s 2012 victory in Illinois standing out from the crowd.

Team USA are favourites to claim the title in 2023, though much depends on the final team selections as captains ponder their options.
