LONDON: Henrik Stenson said Wednesday he is signing up for the rebel Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series, just hours after he was axed as Europe's Ryder Cup captain.

'After much consideration, I have decided to join several of my fellow professionals and play in the LIV invitational series,' the 46-year-old Swede said in a statement.
