Rory McIlroy WARNS PGA TOUR PRO against LIV GOLF deal

[@back9films]

*Big story that’s growing*

[@steveputland4324]

“Big fat nothing burger” more like it !

[@seanmawson6286]

No one really cares what Rory says you seen his lack of sportsmanship at the US Open the guys are spoilt brat

[@coobay4786]

It's a career. Go for the money.

[@vanbalzup6481]

I wish all the best to Tom. Scored a couple rounds for him now. Real down to earth lad, just sat and ate with his family in the food tent after with the public. I work for LIV too so it’s all good. I don’t know why Europeans glaze the PGA at all personally. It’s our sport, not theirs.

[@pbonds9761]

Just a thought. Right now the majors and the Ryder cup, etc. are still really big deals. However, if more and more young players go to LIV, and thus can’t play in majors, etc….well, are the majors REALLY going to be with the best in the world, or the best that aren’t playing on LIV? The PGA really screwed this up.

[@coobay4786]

Yep

[@stiggsmasta]

Yeah, pga tour literally discriminating against players who signed to play some other tournaments. I'm not boycotting or anything but notice I've never missed a liv round but rarely watch golf channel anymore. I watch more youtube golf. Still love it all as it is all golf. Even will be watching the tgl stuff. Seems like a monopoly trying to sink any competition. I'm not cool with that, but will watch when i have time anyway.

[@coobay4786]

@stiggsmasta I'm with you. I watch everything golf, but as for TGL I'm losing interest very quickly.

It's OK for Rory to Say , he already has the Money.. !!! If he had not I doubt he would be so strong in his beliefs.

[@deohin5447]

World ranking points are the real spoiler in LIV's success. OWGR is a political organization.

[@shankedit65]

Easy for Rory to say when you have hundreds of millions In the bank

[@tommo9942]

get paid young man

[@scottdowd931]

Question, what if the landscape changes and LIV becomes a bigger or similar name in 10 years? Would he have made the right decision looking back on it?

[@stefanmuller9653]

Its a win win in my opinion. He gets good money, guarenteed TV time and creates awareness for joining LIV rather than the PGA. The other option was just being another potentially promising rookie among many on the PGA tour

[@slackJocks]

How many really good young players have there been in the past that for one reason or another just didn’t make it on the pga tour 🤷‍♂️ so when someone comes along and offers a young man more money than Rory has won in his career if he signs now you’d be a fool not to take it. As for majors ask Colin Montgomery about how hard it is to win a major 🤷‍♂️

[@ajstclair]

"Professional" golf exists because of the money. Palmer/Nicklaus et al played the game because it was their job. They did it to get paid. They worked hard in-hand w/ the media to grow the game so they'd get paid more. If $ wasn't the key factor, everybody would play amateur events. In our society, in every sport, "the best players are the highest paid." This debate is the exact same debate monahan had years ago; "would you rather get a $50M signing bonus or go play the Masters? Guess what, he was wrong then and he's wrong now.

[@kennethmckinney2532]

Rory never had the option back in the day so we'll never know. Play great abs everything will work out

[@tomyandrade]

Just let liv contracts end will see if they are still staying there after

[@petera2133]

Financial is the only driver nowadays. Symptoms of the times.

[@geoffcohen613]

Where is all the money coming from when there is supposed to be a global financial crisis ??

[@BazzasGolf]

Accolades don't pay the bills. Lols

[@alanking5001]

I don't see how you can give ranking points when you only play 3 rounds with no cut and music blaring out . Surely it would be unfair to pga tour players who have to fight harder for points . Its like the older players playing on tour and then playing exhibition money matches, just keep it like that

[@earbo6220]

Liv Golf is still around? Laughable

[@seanmawson6286]

Why is it laughable you're a narrative man with limited views sad person😅😅😅

[@richardvetter2088]

The PGA hasn't screwed this up - LIV has screwed this up!

[@raybowles8587]

LIV exist because PGA doesn't provide a guarantee income for players, such as basketball, football, baseball, etc. To say PGA hasn't screwed this up is just the opposite, they opened the door for LIV to be created.
