Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood cannot compete in 2023 Ryder Cup

Posted : 04 May 2023
Due to their resignations from the DP World Tour, Ryder Cup players Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood will all be unable to participate in this year's competition.

The group was penalized for violating the circuit's regulations after joining the breakaway tour LIV Golf, along with Richard Bland.

Given the sanctions put in place after they joined the Saudi Arabia-funded tour, the players claim they have "no choice."

Now, none of the four can participate in Europe's game in Rome against the United States.

The resignations were acknowledged by the DP World Tour in a statement, which stated that they had been "sanctioned for major violations of the tour's inconsistent event regulations."

Due to their participation in the LIV's first event at the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire in June, the players were charged with £100,000 in fines. They were given until May 3 to settle their fines after losing an appeal handled by the arbitration firm Sport Resolutions.

The DP World Tour expressed gratitude to the players for their participation and said:

"In particular Sergio, Ian and Lee for the significant part they have played in Europe's success in the Ryder Cup over many years".

Garcia has the all-time points scoring record for Europe, and Westwood participated in a record 11 European matches.
