Scottie Scheffler has revealed he misses playing with fellow stars Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. As action at the Presidents Cup gets underway and the US eyes a tenth straight victory over the International Team, two notable Americans are missing from those who will do battle.

US Open champ DeChambeau and five-time major winner Koepka are ineligible to star on the 12-man team because they are currently playing on the LIV Golf series, not the PGA Tour, who run the Presidents Cup.

Scheffler will be reunited with his compatriots in a matchplay event this December in Las Vegas, however, and has come clean as the pair miss out on starring at the Royal Montreal Golf Club.

When asked about the December exhibition, Scheffler commented: “My manager takes care of a lot of that stuff. When he originally brought it up to me, I was like, yeah, it sounds like fun.

“I've partnered with Brooks and Bryson at Ryder Cups before, but those are two guys I really miss competing against. Brooks has five major championships -- five, six? Five. That's a pretty cool record for him. He's had a great career. He's a guy I love competing against.

"You've got Bryson, with all his stuff, I think he's a fun guy to be around. It definitely interested me, and the way things fell together, it seemed to work out nice. It seems like a fun deal.”

The made-for-TV event will see Scheffler partner with one of Europe’s leading names, Rory McIlroy, as he takes on his former Ryder Cup team-mates and LIV’s finest.

DeChambeau and Koepka have been joined as part of the rival body by superstar Jon Rahm and the likes of Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann - both of whom could have attempted to help the International Team stage an upset in Montreal.

When asked about the feud between the PGA and Saudi Arabia’s PIF-backed LIV, Scheffler stated: " There are just so many moving pieces in that deal.

"It's one of those things where like my friendships to guys out there haven't really changed that much. I think in the beginning when some of the guys were suing us, that was a bit frustrating for the players out here, but over time those things kind of fade. I don't think there was a ton of ill will for that type of stuff."
