Rory McIlroy believes it will be difficult for Ian Poulter or Lee Westwood to be a future Ryder Cup captain because they no longer have a connection with Europe’s emerging stars after defecting to LIV Golf. Poulter was a stalwart for Europe at Ryder Cups and typically saved his best performances for the team event, earning 16 points from seven appearances. Now playing on the breakaway LIV circuit, Poulter said in a recent interview with Al Arabiya English that he would relish the opportunity to be captain of the European team — even if that was currently not possible because he resigned his European tour membership after joining LIV.
