Seamus Power has no interest in LIV in fear it would jeopardise Ryder Cup hopes

Seamus Power has no interest in joining LIV golf in fears that it would jeopardise his Ryder Cup hopes.

Power is in the form of his life as he comfortably remains in the top 50 of the world rankings with safe passage into each of the majors.

And with the 2023 Ryder Cup a mere 11 months away, Power is hoping to earn qualification to next year's event.

Speaking of LIV to the Irish Independent, Power said that money was never a motivating factor.

And going to LIV would mean an uncertain future for Power with no world ranking points on offer he said: “The unknowns around the Ryder Cup and the Majors, for me that’s too much risk and too much to give up."
