LIV Golf continues to doggedly pursue the brightest stars in golf's firmament, but the lure of Ryder Cup action and the charms of creating more major and PGA Tour memories mean Seamus Power won’t be joining the growing cohort of players on the rebel circuit.Power’s own star is very much in the ascendancy.

Having been eclipsed by his Irish contemporaries Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry earlier in his career, the Waterford man has enjoyed a stratospheric rise up the rankings in the last two seasons.Having begun 2021 ranked 393 in the world, the 35-year-old has forged a path to 29 in the world rankings.Power continued his Bermuda love affair with victory in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at the end of October, with his only previous win on the PGA Tour also coming on the archipelago.We need your consent to load this rte-player contentWe use rte-player to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.

"I know my manager had some contact with them earlier in the year, but it's not for me."I don't know where it's going to end up or what's going to happen."My first year playing the majors, they're memories that I can't even put into words how special they were to me""I'm very lucky.
