American LIV players should not miss out on Ryder Cup, insists Mickelson

• Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson at risk of exclusion
• Mickelson: I don't see the benefit of the Ryder Cup to change'

Phil Mickelson has suggested it would be unfair for the likes of Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson to miss out on 2023 Ryder Cup participation because they are part of LIV Golf.

The prominence of Koepka at the US PGA Championship has reignited debate over whether Zach Johnson, the US captain, should keep the door open for LIV rebels. Several American players are known to want Koepka and Dustin Johnson among their number for the September clash in Rome but lingering ill-feeling and court battles attached to the LIV breakaway make Zach Johnson's position tricky. Mickelson has been front and centre of all things LIV from the outset.
