Lee Westwood

The UK has a rich golfing heritage.

The European Ryder Cup veteran was also critical of the media.

Westwood doesn't agree with penalties and sanctions.

The company has ended its deal in an apparent response to Westwood’s involvement with a series of Saudi-backed events.

He has asked the PGA Tour and DP World Tour if he can play at the Centurion Club in June.

Players joining the SGL have been warned they face a lifetime ban from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.

Westwood says he cannot commit fully to the role while he is still competitive as a player.

The charge for the line begins at Dom Pedro: the top 50 head to the DP World Tour Championship, the top 122 earn a card for next year.

The Englishman needs a good end to the regular season if he is to make the DP WORLD TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP at Jumeirah in Dubai.

The 48-year-old won his singles match against Harris English in a lost cause at Whistling Straits.
