I guess Hendrik can't have his cake and eat it too. Look for Thomas Bjorn or possibly Luke Donald to get the Captaincy.

Has Stenson actually announced he's leaving? Or was this a preemptive strike?
He wanted the job, but was in violation of his contract that he signed not supporting the Ryder Cup and DP World Tour exclusively. So he got the boot.
โThere's been a lot of speculation back and forth, but I am fully committed to the captaincy and to Ryder Cup Europe and the job at hand,โ Stenson said then. โThe captain does sign a contract. He's the only one that does that. Players and vice captains don't. But the captain has an agreement, and those agreements are between Ryder Cup Europe and the captain, so I'm fully committed to my role as a captain and working hard toward the result we want in Rome.โ
โThe successful candidate will be expected during his tenure to commit to supporting the Ryder Cup and the DP World Tour exclusively, and therefore, by extension, not supporting or promoting other properties [including, without limitation, other Tours, Leagues, Series or Competitions].โ
Stenson knew and he got exactly what he asked for and was expecting. Now, go about your business bud.
What about Donald Trump telling PGA Tour players to sign and take the $ before an inevitable PGA and LIV golf merger!
Eguller He just wants $$$$ flowing into his courses and his branding
The dude will bite back when he can find a way to.

Families of 9-11 victims have asked Trump to cancel the LIV event at the end of the month. That has as much chance of happening as Trump all of a sudden acquiring a conscience.
Sneakylong You give that guy way too much free rent in your head.
Chucky Howell 3 sticks has joined LIV
That one went under the radar a bit.
Spuzz He almost made 15 minutes of fame literal. Great for a brief period and then some unpredictably sporadic appearances high on the leaderboard.
Eguller I wonder if Jason Day will get in on some of that.
johnnydoom I wonder if Jason Day will get in on some of that.
I would, if I was him.
His back is not good enough to sustain any kind of grind on the PGA Tour, sadly.
CH3 has made a good amount of money grinding out his many years on tour.
He still has a good swing. His issues have been mental fortitude, imo.
I think if Ann Landers weโre around today sheโd agree that the resentment caused by the trauma is justified.
