Swedish pro golfer Henrik Stenson was removed by Ryder Cup Europe as captain for the 2023 matches Thursday after he joined the controversial new Saudi-backed LIV Golf league.

Stenson became captain just four months ago, and the 2023 matches are still 14 months away. Stenson tweeted that he was “hugely disappointed.”

Both the European tour and PGA Tour have suspended players who signed up with LIV Golf.
