At the same time, the 46-year-old Swede is set to end his commitment as captain of Europe's Ryder Cup team at the competition in Rome next year.
Expressen asked the question about what Stenson's schedule looks like in the near future after he missed the cut in The Open last Friday and the answer was:
- Indefinite.
When Stenson was named captain earlier this year earlier this year, he described it as a dream come true.
At the same time, he appointed the Dane Thomas Björn and the Italian Edoardo Molinaro as vice-captains.
If Stenson goes on the LIV tour, he will most likely be deprived of the role of captain and one of the vice-captains will take over.
Excluded from the DP World tour
To play for Europe in the Ryder Cup, you must be a member of the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), which is a competitive tour.
DP World-tour has excluded members who have switched to the LIV-tour.
Former US President Donald Trump is urging players who have not yet chosen to move to the Saudi-backed LIV tour to take the plunge.
Several of the LIV competitions are organized on his courses.
He believes that the two tours will eventually be merged.
- If you do not take the money now, you will not get any when the merger takes place, and will say how smart those who first wrote where were, Trump says.
The name LIV is Roman letters for 54 and stands for the number of holes you play during a competition, ie after three rounds unlike other tours which have four.
