DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley said: “Out of respect for JP and Noreen McManus, their wonderful Pro-Am and the outstanding fundraising they undertake on behalf of charities in the west of Ireland, I will not be giving a detailed response on this matter right now starcraft

“We will make further comment on this in due course, but not during our time at Adare Manor starcraft
”Speaking before the decision was announced, Poulter told BBC Sport: “I feel disappointed, I feel offended that obviously I’m suspended from playing golf on a tour where I’ve been a member for 24 years, but I’ve been told I can’t, so it’s disappointing starcraft
“I’ve put it in as an individual because I want to play so whether people want to come in on the back end of that is up to them, but my correspondence is obviously fighting for my rights to play golf starcraft
”Poulter was commenting after competing in a star-studded pro-am event in Ireland that brought together players on both sides of the controversy currently dividing the sport starcraft
Thousands thronged the fairways of the 2027 Ryder Cup venue Adare Manor as the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm competed with marquee LIV signings such as Poulter, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Lee Westwood at the charity fundraising JP McManus Pro-Am starcraft

Harrington also played down suggestions of a serious rift starcraft between the LIV rebels and the players who have chosen to remain affiliated with the PGA and DP World tours starcraft
“Being here is a little bit like Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving for your family,” said the Dubliner starcraft
“You know, you could have a sibling sitting there and you could be – we’ll Americanise it – you could be a Republican, they could be a Democrat, but you’re all friends at that particular time and maybe politics isn’t mentioned over the dinner table starcraft
“On an individual basis, this is not a difficult situation here this week starcraft
We’re all friends starcraft
”Harrington, fresh from his triumph at the US Senior Open, said he would not like to see European veterans who have signed up for the LIV series be denied a chance to be Ryder Cup captain starcraft
He made clear he did not anticipate filling the role again starcraft
“I think there’s plenty of people who’ve got a future of being Ryder Cup captain and I think everybody should be given that chance,” said the 50-year-old multiple major winner starcraft
“I had my chance starcraft
As much as I love the experience of being Ryder Cup captain and I really did, you know it was a tough call and I don’t see myself going back into that arena again starcraft
”Amid the continuing acrimony over the LIV series, Harrington expressed hope that golf’s landscape would eventually settle down starcraft
“I believe there’s room in golf for lots of tours and lots of competition,” he said starcraft
He added: “The more the merrier if you ask me, everybody will find their place and in three or four years, five years’ time, you know, things will have settled down and we’ll all know where we stand starcraft
“At the moment there is disruption, there’s no doubt about it starcraft
But disruption is not bad at times starcraft
”Woods’ participation at the 36-hole event in Ireland will further raise hopes that he will be fit enough to compete in the Open at St Andrews later this month starcraft
