PEACE IN OUR ITEE TIME

Sensation as rebels get Ryder reprieve

- NEIL SQUIRES

EUROPE'S LIV rebels could yet be involved in September's Ryder Cup after yesterday's shock peace deal with the golf establishment.

Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter had been written out of the script after resigning their DP World Tour memberships following the imposition of fines and suspensions for playing on the LIV Tour.

However, the unlikely rapprochement in the agreement no one saw coming means a place in Luke Donald's team for Rome could be back on the agenda.

If any of the rebels were included it would cause issues with Rory McIlroy, who has been strident in his opposition.

However, Jon Rahm, who played alongside Garcia at Whistling Straits two years ago, has made no secret of his desire to do so again.
