Team events ‘hurting themselves’ by barring LIV golfers, says DeChambeau

• Ryder Cup among team events to reject rebel players
• DeChambeau says it is sad' they cannot play

Team events such as the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup are only hurting themselves" by banning players who signed up for LIV Golf, the former US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has said.

Players who joined the Saudi-backed LIV series are no longer eligible to participate in PGA Tour events, including the Presidents Cup and all other tours sanctioned by the circuit. DeChambeau has played for the United States in the past in both the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup but he will be watching next week's Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club on television instead.
