- Padraig Harrington has ‘no empathy’ for Swede
- Ryder Cup Europe now searching for new captain for 2023 event
Padraig Harrington has accused Henrik Stenson of doing “what he said he wouldn’t do” after the Swede was removed as Europe’s Ryder Cup captain before confirming his status as LIV Golf’s latest recruit.
As another wound was sustained in golf’s civil war, Harrington, a member of six consecutive Ryder Cup teams between 1999 and 2010, said he had “no empathy” for the Swede. Stenson was the Irishman’s vice-captain at Whistling Straits last year and just four months ago signed a contract to lead Europe into competition in Rome in 2023.
