Golf superstar Rory McIlroy has poured cold water over a bombshell report that linked him with a move to LIV Golf , firmly planting his flag in the PGA Tour’s ground once and for all. McIlroy has been LIV Golf ’s biggest critic since the inception of the breakaway Saudi-backed competition almost two years ago, but has considerably softened his tone towards the circuit in recent months.

McIlroy was once completely dismissive of LIV professionals, but has placated his view in recent times as the PGA and LIV tours have attempted to broker a merger of sorts. Speaking this week, he reiterated that he had no bad blood with players who decided to make the move.
