Ryder Cup: Europe captain Luke Donald says next year's tournament can 'unify' golf

Donald said that the Ryder Cup is bigger than any individual player.

The established PGA and European Tours have been at odds with the LIV series since it was launched in June.

Donald replaced Stenson after he was fired for joining LIV.

Donald said that the history of the Ryder Cup was important.

The Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome will be the site of the 2023 Ryder Cup.

Donald said that the Ryder Cup is a great way to unify everyone.

It will continue to do that. There is a new generation of players and fans who are interested in the game of golf.

Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson, former world number oneDustin Johnson and Open champion Cameron Smith are among the players to join LIV, which offers a $25 million purse.

The four-time major champion said last month that his relationship with a number of his Europe team mates has been "strained" by them joining LIV.

The captain of the US suggested that any LIV players wouldn't be eligible for a place in Italy.

Even if he is not one of the 12 players selected, Tiger Woods will play a role in Europe's bid to win for the first time in 30 years, according to Johnson.

I don't know if he'll be here next year, but he's going to be a part of this team. He already is.

He loves the cup. He wants to be involved as much as possible. We will communicate constantly.
