European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley has insisted that he has no worries about the relationship between teammates Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.
The pair are currently involved in a court case with McIlroy's former management company Horizon Sports Management.
On Tuesday, Judge Brian McGovern said that the two sides should engage in mediation because the case involves "all sorts of complex issues involving relationship matters".
According to The Guardian, when asked about the golfers' relationship, McGinley said: "It's not a concern. It has been going for a year and both have had very strong years.
"Rory's had arguably his best year ever [winning back-to-back Majors] and Graeme won the French Open. It has not affected their performance and both of them have assured me it's not going to affect anything in the team room. I would be very surprised if they don't play together although I'm not going to write it in stone."
The Ryder Cup gets underway at Gleneagles in Scotland next week.
