Luke Donald hints at LIV stars' Ryder Cup omission as he calls for youth over experience
Luke Donald has strongly hinted that Europe's experienced LIV golf contingent will not be selected in his Ryder Cup team for next year.
While Donald was quick to stress that he is looking for youth over experience to help usher in a new era for Europe's Ryder Cup team, it seems likely that the veterans' LIV Golf associations are also informing his decision.
Speaking to the 5 Clubs Podcast, Donald said the upcoming Hero Cup teams are a good marker of where he's at in terms of Ryder Cup selection. Notably, none of the LIV players have made the cut.
