The 46-year-old Swede is understood to be on the
verge of signing up for the Saudi-funded breakaway LIV Golf series and, after
discussions with Ryder Cup Europe officials, the decision was made to effectively
sack him as captain.
“Ryder Cup Europe today confirms that Henrik
Stenson’s tenure as captain of Team Europe for the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco
Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy, from September 25 to October 1,
2023, has been brought to an end with immediate effect,” a Ryder Cup Europe
statement read.
“In light of decisions made by Henrik in relation to
his personal circumstances, it has become clear that he will not be able to
fulfil certain contractual obligations to Ryder Cup Europe.”
The statement added: “Confirmation of the new 2023
European Ryder Cup captain will be made in due course. Ryder Cup Europe will be
making no further comment on any aspect of the process until that time.”
