AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — This wasn’t the kind of attention Rory McIlroy was hoping for on the day after the Masters.
A London financial paper, City A.M., cited anonymous sources as saying McIlroy was believed to be close to an $850 million deal to join LIV Golf. The publication did not say how the sources would know. That set off speculation and innuendo across the internet.
McIlroy was able to shut it down when he arrived at the RBC Heritage.
“I honestly don’t know how these things get started,” McIlroy told Golf Channel from the range at Harbour Town. “I’ve never been offered a number from LIV and I’ve never contemplated going to LIV. I think I’ve made it clear over the past two years that I don’t think it’s something for me.”
He most recently said that at Bay Hill last month.
McIlroy said he won’t judge players going to LIV if they feel that’s what it is best for them. He also expressed anew how important it is to have the top players come together more often than the four majors. And he believes some PGA Tour players are still contemplating going over to the Saudi-funded tour. It’s just not for him.
