Rory McIlroy: Why Poulter & Westwood Won’t Captain the Ryder Cup

Rory McIlroy has expressed skepticism about Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood’s prospects of becoming future Ryder Cup captains due to their involvement with LIV Golf and departure from the DP World Tour. McIlroy, a vocal critic of LIV, argued that a successful captain needs to be actively engaged with current European players, something Poulter and Westwood lack due to their focus on LIV. Despite Poulter’s hopes of captaining Europe, McIlroy highlighted Luke Donald as an example of the necessary commitment, which involves staying connected with the European golf scene.
