Lines have been drawn in the sand traps, fairways and putting greens among the players. You’re either with the PGA Tour or you’re with LIV. There’s no in-between.
Rory McIlroy, who won the Canadian Open on Sunday, has been a flag bearer for the PGA Tour since the Norman-led tour began to gain attention.
“Because a lot of these guys are in their late 40s, in Phil’s [Mickelson] case, early 50s,’’ McIlroy said. “I think [if you asked] everyone in this room … they would say to you themselves that their best days are behind them. That’s why I don’t understand for the guys that are a similar age to me going, because I would like to believe that my best days are still ahead of me, and I think theirs are, too. So that’s where it feels like you’re taking the easy way out [for the guaranteed millions].
“I’ve always been interested in history and legacy, and right now the PGA Tour has that. There’s meaning when you win the Memorial Championship. There’s meaning when you win Arnold Palmer’s event at Bay Hill. There’s a meaning when you win L.A., Torrey, some of the historic venues. That to me matters a lot. My heart is with the PGA Tour.’’
For now, though, what players like Rahm, McIlroy and Koepka want is for the focus to be on the U.S. Open and not LIV Golf.
