Bradley said last month would be on the team<\/a> (and appears likely to earn an automatic spot anyway), wants to compete but can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\u201cThat\u2019s up to the Tour and their decision to make,\u201d he said to Sports Illustrated after opening with a 4-under 67 at LIV Golf Indianapolis. \u201cIt\u2019s on them if they don\u2019t let us become together as a team and play.\u201d<\/p>\n
DeChambeau would need a sponsor\u2019s exemption to play in the tournament in Napa, Calif., which wouldn\u2019t be an issue, but a Tour spokesman reiterated to SI that the two-time U.S. Open champion \u201cis not eligible for PGA Tour competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bradley\u2019s agent, Brett Falkoff, said in a text message to SI\u2019s Bob Harig that no formal inquiry into playing the Tour event had been made and that DeChambeau \u201cplans to participate in every team gathering that he is permitted to attend.\u201d<\/p>\n
But barring a shift in the PGA Tour\u2019s four-year-long stance on players who compete on LIV Golf, DeChambeau could potentially be the one U.S. Ryder Cup member not at the Procore Championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat just shows you \u2026 yeah, I\u2019m not gonna say that,\u201d DeChambeau said, pausing. \u201cYeah, it’s a scenario that’s unfortunate, and I wish it was different, but LIV’s willing to let me play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
