Look who finally gets it

[@mastergurufollower2253]

Rory is only saying this now because 2 of the Ryder cup team mates moved

[@aaronjones-qd1jd]

If I got offered more money, to do the same job, less weeks, one less day a week. I would go.

[@mikesalois3028]

He should be a gymnast with all that flip flopping

[@Hmuondestiny]

At the end of the day it's a job, you should be able to work for whoever you choose

[@TheRobertWota]

Finally he understood

[@petermartinaitis8166]

At last, he gets it.......people have a freedom of choice that differs from your own opinion, he sits there like some forlorn victim when he was complicit in attacking LIV and all the golfers that moved to LIV. The only reason he stayed with the PGA is because he wants to win the Masters. No one threw him under a bus , he was the mouthpiece for the PGA Tour willingly.

[@Jeebizz101]

He doesn't need to be on the PGA to play the masters I dont think, the majors are all eligible for LIV players

[@focusonsimple]

He is just accepting reality. The tours tried to resist LIV but they have too much money. If you can’t beat them you have to an extent join them

[@dougie6897]

Rory has clearly reached the acceptance stage…. Having been through the Denial- Anger- Bargaining- Depression stages. My only question is why has it taken Rory nearly 2 years?? That’s a long time to take before the penny has dropped.

[@marccutirella]

give it a rest dude rory hasnt had liv on his mind 24/7 in 2 years and now realised it has gone too far lol. he just doesnt like it and try to tell the people that the pga is what it all is about. if u really think he has been depressed then u just live in an illusion, he has had plenty of golf and making millions living his best possible life while ur here in the comment section with a boring ass life lmao

Greedy man follows the money. In other news, scientists have revealed the sky is blue.

[@commentsboardreferee7434]

Those greedy LIV guys have a lot of nerve taking a new job for more money. Plus they're all afraid of real competition and also washed up or never were.

[@Jeebizz101]

​@@commentsboardreferee7434 real competition? they keep winning majors

[@johnlewis0910]

Board meeting..I think he went to Plank meetings..

[@garylucas7050]

I don’t think there is enough humble pie in existence for Rory to eat……was absolutely thrown to the lions by Monahan

[@roymunson1]

He be with them in a year too of he wins the masters this year.

[@user-gm8rb7yk4t]

hahahaha... that's funny , LIV don't want him 🙂. He is finally seeing all the Negativity that Tiger brought into the Game and realizes that he too has the Tiger virus , Yet I do hope for Rory the Golfer that he finally wins the Masters

[@roymunson1]

​@@user-gm8rb7yk4tme too. He is well placed this year fir a heavy run at it.

[@mradamcshaw]

Rory was thrown under the bus. He was pushed forward as the PGA spokesperson and has been burned. You cannot hold back the tide ie LIV money so he is being pragmatic. Time to move on.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

Lmao Rory threw himself willingly under the bus, now he is trying to backtrack and play the victim as damage limitation, don't be naive.

[@mradamcshaw]

My mate hates Rory. I like him. Each to their own opinion.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

@@mradamcshaw If you like sanctimonious hypocrites then that's ok. Each to their own as you said.

[@Emm.Jaycee]

From where I'm standing it looks more like Rory saw a massive holdall stuffed with cash in the middle of the road and when he stepped out to grab it a bus ran him over.

[@bards7443]

everyone is in it for the money. Look at how man sponsorships they have. Some guys have 6+ non clothing logos on them. if they were in it for for fame, glory or tradition they'd have no logos. Simples.

[@GWills-ys6rd]

It seems there may be a big departure of professional golfers to the golf tour with the best balance of opportunities and lifestyle for both players and stakeholders. It's hard to ignore a global platform with the potential for massive investment, seemingly much more than an $8 Billion domestic fund. How much money/opportunity can Rory rationally resist at this stage of his career and who will actually benefit from his decisions?

[@Springveldt]

He got thrown under the bus by the PGA Tour so I'm not surprised he's changed his tune on the subject. He's a smart guy and he can see that LIV has the money to outlast the PGA Tour.

[@billyburroo]

rory " i see the light, what light " ur a self employed sole trader wake up no golf tour cares what u say or do it's only the bottom line that they care about

[@winetrucker3949]

Two faced Rory tries to destroy Phil Mickelson too afraid to destroy Jon Rahm

[@stephenbarr6558]

Not surprised… professional golf is dead to me, I don’t think I’ll even bother watching the majors or Ryder cup anymore.

[@mikehumphrey7413]

Rory, you should stuff them all. Go and join all the boys at LIV and start a new team.

[@MontanaHarvestor]

GFY Rory.

[@mr.c.2888]

LOLOLOL

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

Looks like Rory is being seduced by the dark side. Very sad to see.
