IN: Brian DeChambeau and five other top PGAT players have been suspended from future tournaments for violating certain rules

The new captain of the American team that won the PGA Championship in 2011 was named captain after Tiger Woods reportedly turned down the job. Golf great Woods said he was spending too much time on other commitments with the PGA, which resulted in Bradley being the unexpected pick. DeChambeau, 30, was part of the Ryder Cup team that won the team title in 2021 but was left out of the squad that lost in Rome last year, but it seems clear the Californian would likely jump at the chance to return to the team. DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open winner, had publicly stated his desire to join the roster for 2023, but tensions between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour were still running high at the time. Despite being one of the most ardent supporters of the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV series, DeChambeau was willing to put rivalries aside to represent his country, the Daily Express reported. “Listen, I played in a pair of Ryder Cups, and I would like to represent my country, there is no doubt,” he said in August 2023.-I feel that I am in the right place to be able to do What. I feel like I’m definitely a top 10 player right now, depending on what game I’m playing.

“If I am elected, it will be great. If I don’t, I’ll still be on TV cheering for Team USA because I respect and value those players and all the team records in our country more than the PGA Tour or LIV.”

LIV star Brooks Koepka managed to make it onto then-captain Zach Johnson’s list, proving that players associated with LIV are not completely excluded from Ryder Cup consideration. However, LIV players rely on the captain to select them as they cannot earn qualifying points as easily as those who play under the PGA banner. Despite DeChambeau’s enthusiasm, he missed the cut and Team USA suffered a crucial defeat on European soil. He still respects Johnson’s decision, but suggested he feels somewhat slighted because it had nothing to do with his removal from the LIV flag-bearer list.
