Professional Golfer Rory McIlroy
After months attacking Greg Norman, LIV Golf, and the players who chose to join LIV Golf, Rory McIlroy, the de facto loudmouth of the PGA Tour, has suggested perhaps is time to have a conversation with LIV Golf and CEO Greg Norman.
I guess McIlroy finally realized LIV Golf is here to stay, and most likely than not, more defections will come about after next week’s Open Championship at St. Andrews. The money is just too good!
McIlroy, as much as PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, has been part of the problem. Week in and week out, running his mouth with his other ‘compadres’, Justin Thomas, and self appointed PGA Tour messiah, Billy Horschel, he has done nothing but antagonize and disrespect Greg Norman and the LIV Golf players.
Now he wants to talk? I hope Greg Norman tells the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour to pound sand. The way they have behave, with little class and bullish attitude, gives them no leverage in my book.
LIV Golf has proven to be a successful product and Greg Norman does not need the PGA Tour’s approval or assistance for continued success.
Greg Norman tried and was rejected. Sorry Rory, but your hypocrisy is several months too late.
My only advice for Mr. McIlroy? Like the Irish saying goes, “Who keeps his tongue, keeps his friends.”
By the way Rory, Greg Norman has two Open Championships. Just saying.
