Justin Rose believes the Ryder Cup will not be “devalued” if LIV Golf players are not allowed to compete at this year’s contest in Rome.

American players who joined the Saudi-funded circuit are ineligible as they have been suspended by, or resigned from, the PGA Tour and are therefore not members of the PGA of America, which jointly runs the biennial contest with Ryder Cup Europe.
