With the Ryder Cup just under three months away, United States captain Zach Johnson is trying to make sure that any ties between LIV Golf and other circuits, including the PGA Tour, don’t get in the way of putting together a winning roster.

Johnson said Wednesday that he and the Ryder Cup committee already determined how they wanted to navigate the treacherous landscape that LIV has created in the golf world, and they are sticking to their guns.
