(Reuters) - British duo Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood highlighted their age as a factor in choosing to sign up for the LIV Golf Invitational Series and admitted their Ryder Cup futures are up in the air due to their involvement in the lucrative Saudi-backed league.

The breakaway league has caused a stir in the sport after the likes of six-times major champion Phil Mickelson and former world number one Dustin Johnson signed up.
