Rory McIlroy has raised a lot of dust with statements regarding LIV Golfers and the fact that he feels ‘betrayed’ by some players. “It’s a weird thing,” McIlroy said for Guardian. “I think it is the first time in my life that I have felt betrayal, in a way.
It’s an unfamiliar feeling to me. You build bonds with these people through Ryder Cups and other things. Them knowing that what they are about to do is going to jeopardise them from being a part of that ever again? There was a great opportunity for GMac to maybe be the captain at Adare in 2027.
Most of Sergio’s legacy is Ryder Cup-based, same with Poulter, Westwood.” We didn’t have to wait long for the reactions of those who ‘found themselves’ Ian Poulter reacted; “A betrayal? We can still qualify for the team as far as I’m aware.
Look, my commitment to the Ryder Cup I think goes before me. I don’t think that should ever come in question. I’ve always wanted to play Ryder Cups and have played with as much passion as anyone else that I’ve ever seen play a Ryder Cup.
You know, I don’t know where that comment really has come from, to be honest.” – Poulter said for dailymail.com
Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickelson talked about the PGA Tour a few days ago and was frustrated with some things.
Now he changed the story a little. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said stuff like that, I don’t know, but I’m just looking at LIV Golf and where we are today compared to where we were six, seven months ago when people are saying this is dead in the water.
We’re past that, and here we are today, a force in the game that’s not going away, that has players of this calibre. It’s pretty remarkable how far LIV Golf has come in the last six, seven months. I don’t think anybody can disagree with that. ”
