Ryder Cup 2023: The Saudi Golf Union has attained two former No. 1 golfers and Ryder Cup stars

According to the Daily Mail, two former world golfers and Ryder Cup heroes have signed up to compete in Greg Norman's new Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf Invitational series, which launches in England this summer. Ryder Cup fans can buy Ryder Cup Tickets from our website.

Those names have not been revealed but since we're speaking about the world's No. 1 player and Ryder Cup hero, it somewhat limits the search for who will join the new Saudi golf league, the report said.

Lee Westwood is the first name that comes to mind

Who will join the new Saudi Golf League?

Lee Westwood is the first name that comes to mind, especially when you consider that he fits the bill and he hasn't made a secret of his interest in the new song, either.

Other names that would also fit a world number one and a "Ryder Cup hero" are Luke Donald, Martin Kaymer, and Justin Rose.

But would any of the overheads really risk their future Ryder Cup careers as players or even captains?

It's unclear if joining the split tour will cause any problems for European Ryder Cup teams' future captaincy, but it's a big possibility under the new rules.

Henrik Stenson is powerfully connected to taking part in the tour, but he has now been named the new European Ryder Cup captain, so he has now called off any talk about his involvement.

Will Mickelson join the Saudi Golf League?

Phil Mickelson has never been the No. 1 in the world, so for now, it looks like he'll be locked out, but who knows what happened after the southpaw failed to show up at Augusta National at this week's Championship Dinner.

The six-time key champion is closely associated with a breakout from the PGA Tour competition to Norman.

But Mickelson recently decided to quit the sport after revealing controversial remarks in a conversation with biographer Alan Shipnuck, who denied the Saudis were "terrible pussies". And he's using the new breakout tour as leverage against the PGA Tour.

The full roster of players participating in the first LIV Golf Invitational has not yet been announced, but we believe the news will be out soon.

Most of the PGA Tour's biggest names have barred themselves from Norman's new golf series, much to the delight of PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan.

Obviously, split golf course supporters received sponsors and golf managers on the outskirts of the Augusta National Golf Club earlier this week during the first main event of the Master's golf season.

The first of eight events in the new LIV Golf Invitational series will take place at the Centurion Club in England during the first week of June. Each tournament is played over 54 holes with no cuts and with a total prize pool of up to $255 million.
