He PGA Tourhe DP World Tour and LIV Golfthe millionaire and controversial circuit supported by Saudi Arabiaannounced last month a landmark agreement to merge and form a commercial entity to unify golf, but the hostility of arab super league remains intact in the head and heart of Rory McIlroy34 years old.
The current world number 3, winner of four titles of grand slamhas been one of the most critical players since the new tour appeared in the world of golf and, despite the rapprochement of recent weeks, the Northern Irishman expressed a complete and definitive opinion on the matter in the press conference after his first lap in the Scottish Openwhere he hit a card of 64 hits, three more than the South Korean byeong hun anhome-club leader with 61 thanks to nine birdies without a miss.
“If LIV Golf is the last place to play golf in the world, I’ll retire. That’s how I feel,” McIlroy said. This means that the Northern Irishman will either prefer to retire before being part of the Arab Super League or, what is the same, he will not join LIV Golf even if it is the last place where he will be able to play golf. It sounds extreme, but that was his opinion.
The details of how the deal between LIV Golf and the traditional circuits will play out are still unknown, and in fact, when that blanket deal was surprisingly announced last month, McIlroy already made clear his -skepticism “I still hate LIV Golf. I hate LIV Golf. I hope it goes away.”
