LEE WESTWOOD has signed a non-disclosure agreement regarding his possible participation in the proposed Super Golf League, it was reported today.

And two-time major winner Dustin Johnson said he was “not allowed to disclose” whether or not he has received a multimillion-pound offer to contest the Saudi-backed breakaway circuit.

However, players joining the SGL have been warned they face a lifetime ban from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, a sanction which would rule them out of playing in the Ryder Cup or being captain.

The 48-year-old Westwood was the odds-on favourite to captain Europe’s attempt to regain the trophy in 2023 until ruling himself out in November, saying he wanted to focus on his playing career.

Asked about the SGL today during a press conference ahead of the Saudi International, Westwood said: “I don’t know whether I want to answer questions on that. I’ve signed an NDA.”

Without going into any specifics about the SGL, he did speak approvingly about the concept, in particular the team aspect which would see the 48 players competing in 12 four-player teams, as well as individually.
