Pain of missing Ryder Cup will hit home now with LIV rebels

Rory McIlroy believes Europe’s LIV rebels will feel they are missing out this week

Despite Garcia, the Ryder Cup’s all-time leading points scorer, making a forlorn late attempt to find a way back into the reckoning, McIlroy said the current side would not be dwelling on former team-mates.“But I think this week of all weeks it’s going to hit home with them that they are not here and I think they are going to miss being here more than we’re missing them.

This summer’s surprise decision to merge LIV Golf into the PGA Tour is likely to offer a way back for all those players who initially defected, but there is plenty of negotiation and trade-offs to be done before that picture becomes clear. “But the more we can kind of blood the younger generation coming through, the quicker you’re going to kind of skip through that transition phase.

“I’m not there giving rallying cries and speeches. When we came on the practice trip I said to every guy – and some of these guys have watched me play on TV – I don’t want anyone looking up to me,” he added. “I realised that just being myself is enough. I think for a good part of 2021, I was trying to be something that maybe wasn’t natural to me.“I think the last two years have sort of proved that’s the way I’m going to play my best golf so I certainly feel a lot better about things coming into this Ryder Cup and feel like I’m more than capable of contributing more than one point this time around.”
