Before Ryder Cup 2023 Lowry and McDowell must seek Saudi relief from the main Tours
European Ryder Cup 2023 players Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell face potential charges or postponements if they don’t get tickets to the PGA Tour and DP World Tour and keep their promise to play in the Saudi International next year. The Ryder Cup fans can buy Ryder Cup Tickets from our website.
This Irish pair is one of 25 major players who pledged to compete in the Saudi-backed $5 million Asian Tour event to be held at the Royal Green Golf and Country Club from February 3-6, but they have to both from the DP World Qualified in the Tour and PGA Tour.
Since 2019, Saudi International has been a recognized event on the European Tour for three years. But after Saudi Arabia has worked hard to build a competitor’s tour, this is no longer the case.
The DP World Tour, now forming a planned association with the PGA Tour, sees the Saudi-backed Asian Tour as its main competitor and appears unwilling to grant players the right to issue conflict events.
The DP World Tour said yesterday it is “not commenting” on potential conflicts with players, leaving Lowry, who signed a multi-year deal with the Saudi international team, ignorant.
The same goes for many great players, including Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, and Phil Mickelson, as well as European Ryder Cup 2023 players Lowry, Paul Casey, Tommy Fleetwood, Se Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood.
McDowell and Henrik Stenson also pledged to compete in the Jeddah event, how this will affect their chances of winning the Ryder Cup 2023 captaincy in Rome remains to be seen.
Westwood (48 years old) was considered the most popular until he cut his focus on the game, leading to uncertainty over who will succeed Pádraig Harrington, and 2018 captain Thomas Bjorn is now a potential contender.
At the same time, Norwegian Suzann Pettersen succeeds Catriona Matthew as captain of the Solheim Cup and leads the hat-trick of the European Championship at Finca Cortesin in Spain in 2023. The Irish Open returns to the Co Kilkenny venue for a fifth time from June 30 to July 3.
