Rory McIlroy opened up about LIV Golf and the intention behind players joining the tour. In a short interview with the Beyond The Clubhouse podcast, he admitted that he doesn't have any "empathy" towards the decisions of players switching to the LIV tour.
In 2022, dozens of players from different golf series, including the PGA and DP World Tour, switched circuits and signed for LIV Golf. Initially, they were criticized for their decisions, and later in June 2023, the PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced a merger with the circuit, which is still in talks.
Recently, Rory McIlroy opened up about the players who joined LIV Golf and said:
"I don't know I just think. Maybe, putting so, I guess putting so much into it and not really getting back in return. But yeah, I think just, you know, people are gonna do what they gonna do and people are gonna make ultimately the right decision that they feel. It's the best thing for themselves and I think for me it's more not, you know I didn't I mean just have empathy to understand where people are coming from, whenever they decide to go to LIV."
