Paul McGinley names only LIV Golf 'rebel' who would blend into Ryder Cup side!
Former Ryder Cup winning captain Paul McGinley can foresee a scenario where Luke Donald can blend LIV Golf players into his team.
Three-time Ryder Cup player and 2014 winning captain Paul McGinley can foresee a scenario where Luke Donald picks in-form LIV Golf players, but only ones that haven't created 'anti-Tour' noise.
McGinley is not shy of an opinion. When the DP World Tour won their arbitration hearing, the Irishman said it was a 'day tinged with sadness'.
The decision will have a profound impact on the future of the Tour. Essentially, the European-based circuit has got their leverage back.
LIV Golf players will be allowed to return once they pay their fines, but the terms of their entry will now be dictated by chief executive Keith Pelley, his right-hand man Guy Kinnings, the players, the players committee and the board.

The aforementioned Donald now has a bit more clarity over the situation.
And McGinley believes if Donald, 45, were to 'blend' LIV players into the team, the new dynamic would be difficult to manage.
However he wouldn't put it past Donald picking a LIV player if they were to win a major and haven't heavily criticised the Tour in public.
Lee Westwood has been vocal. Don't even get Poulter started on birthdays.
