McIlroy says LIV defectors miss Ryder Cup more than Team Europe misses them

Associated Press  

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy — LIV Golf defections have cut off European stalwarts from the Ryder Cup, some of them for the first time in three decades. “I always thought leading up to this week is when it’s going to hit home that they are not going to be here.” The Americans have already gone through the LIV effect, having played the Presidents Cup last year without Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed being eligible to qualify or having Phil Mickelson available as a vice captain. We’re just all one team, and that’s the way we think.” Team Europe had eight players at Whistling Straits at the last Ryder Cup who since went over to LIV Golf. “We have some legends of the game that won’t be there that would have been a huge presence in the team room,” Tommy Fleetwood said before arriving at Marco Simone. Donald, close friends with Garcia from the daunting partnership they formed in the Ryder Cup, has made a point of keeping the focus on his 12 players, his back room, this version of Team Europe instead of who isn’t at Marco Simone.
