Tony Jacklin: Blacklisting players over Saudi League could spell sad death of Ryder Cup
Ryder Cup legend Tony Jacklin believes potential European captains being blacklisted if they sign up for the Saudi Super League will “spell the sad death” of the biennial event. Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter have all been linked with Greg Norman’s planned breakaway league despite a threat of facing bans from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. Plans for the Super League have suffered some major blows in the past week as a posse of top players, led by world No 1 Jon Rahm and now also including Olympic champion Xander Schauffele, pledged their allegiance to the PGA Tour.
