The recent controversy between Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy has taken center stage in golf. Their feud, which began at the DP World Tour, has overshadowed a lot of other news. But that just may have come to a stop with the tour’s latest decision. The Tour went ahead and paired PGA Tour loyalist Luke Donald with LIV Golf defector Henrik Stenson together. The two also have history because Stenson recently took over the Ryder Cup captaincy from Donald. Has the tour possibly created some more drama for itself? Let’s find out what the golf world thinks.

The animosity between the breakaway Tour and the PGA side only seems to worsen with time. Will the pairing up of the International team’s Ryder Cup captain and its former captain cause the rift to further enlarge? Or will the be able to work together and close the gap between the two sides a little?

Golf World trashes the DP World Tour’ decision

Reed and McIlroy have been the talk of the Dubai event all week. However, the tide has shifted to another LIV and PGA Tour rivalry. That of Luke Donald Henrick Stenson.

Donald was named the captain of the Ryder Cup for 2023 in August last year. He took over from Stenson who only has the post for a few months.

Despite Being Stripped Off His Captaincy Duty, LIV Defector Henrik Stenson Has Positive Words for His Team Europe Captain Replacement

Fans did not take Donald Trump’s recent tweet about leaving the job lightly. One fan commented, “Give it a rest.” Others went on to state that Stenson was in the wrong because he had lied and gone back on his word.

Other fans dissed the DP World Tour. They said they would have paid more attention had they paired the World No. 1 with Reed this week.

Do you think not pairing the 9-time PGA Tour winner with McIlroy was a smart move?

What exactly happened between Stenson and Donald?

In March 2022, Stenson was appointed as the captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. Four months later, the golf pro made a jump to the Saudi-backed league. As per a Sky Sports report in August last year, the Swedish player lasted only 127 days before he was stripped of his title. This was done because of his choice to join LIV in July.

Although the defector hoped that he would remain captain after his move, that wasn’t the case. Soon after, Donald was named the captain. Since then, there has been bad blood between the two. Things may escalate further in the third round of this week’s event.
