Rory McIlroy REVEALS LIV Controversy Is BIGGER Than Golf..
Welcome back to Golf District. Here’s some news for you about the LIV Golf controversy. McIlroy and fellow US PGA Tour pro Justin Thomas both welcomed a judge’s ruling that denied a request by three LIV Golf players for a temporary restraining order that would have allowed them to play in the St. Jude Championship this week, the first event of the US PGA Tour’s season-ending playoffs.
The three players who qualified for the playoffs were among 11 golfers who filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the US Tour challenging the indefinite suspensions imposed by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan upon those who played in any of the Saudi-backed LIV tour’s first three events. McIlroy, who has been a critic of the new series offering stunning $20 million purses for its 54-hole events as well as signing bonuses reportedly worth tens of millions for some stars, said he believed golfers had the right to choose the new tour — but the US PGA Tour also had the right to exclude those who made that decision. As a PGA Tour board member, McIlroy has even-handedly fielded questions about LIV Golf — spearheaded by Australian Greg Norman — for months. It comes as the Australian world No.2 Cameron Smith is said to have joined the rebels on a deal worth $140 million. In related news, Cameron Smith is set to become the latest golf star to defect to LIV Golf in a mega-money deal. Just a day after Australian golfer Cameron Percy let slip that Smith and fellow Aussie Marc Leishman were set to join the breakaway tour, The Telegraph reported Smith has inked a $AUD140 million deal. Smith’s first tournament with the rebel tour is set to be the LIV’s International in Boston which begins September 2. Despite the report, Smith did not elaborate in his press conference ahead of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
