Graeme McDowell is considering rejoining the DP World Tour as he still harbours distant hopes of future Ryder Cup involvement. “I have my previous fines all paid off but I’m sort of at a kind of zero level with the DP World Tour,” McDowell, who is keen to play the Irish Open and Dunhill Links, told BBC Sport NI. “There is a May date where you can approach the Tour and ask for a membership, which is at the discretion of the CEO. “The (Ryder Cup) rule has been around for a long time and that would have to change. I understand bringing LIV players creates negative narratives that we don’t want and need there, but if the door is open I would do anything to support the team.”
