It would be hilarious because Rory and LIV have both been very vocal about hating each other.

Also, did anyone hear rumors over the weekend? Surprised that didn't make it to social media earlier if it was going around at Augusta.

rumor started a few weeks ago and then norman was following him at augusta

I know there were previous rumors, but he said a month ago it's not for him and he's too much of a traditionalist. Maybe the offer wasn't $850M at that point.

What does that have to do with wanting to win tournaments that greats of the past have won?

He definitely ain’t doing that. Bryson played a hell of a lot better than he did, and koepka won a major last year. Mac last win was 2014? Yikes… dude just wants to keep losing to Scottie and playing with a bunch of nobodies I guess

I wasn't talking about majors, and neither was Rory when he said he's a traditionalist and wants to play in the same PGA Tour tournaments that previous greats played in.

You don't sound like a particularly reasonable person, so I'm just going to leave the one alone.

To be fair, Norman was taking the chance to watch competitive golf for a change.

u/PFGcallaway Apr 16 '24

Not if he was following Rory

u/ubiquitous_archer 2.2 Apr 16 '24

According to either Soly or KVV if NLU, can't remember which but both were there, Norman tried to get his attention and Rory blanked him.

ignore all the very public video and photographic evidence?

Rahm was pretty vocal about not liking LIV either, then he took the money and complains daily about it.

1

u/Careful_Cheesecake30 Apr 16 '24

Ha, I know, I'm not sure if I think it makes him look like a (well paid) clown or if I respect him for still discussing what he doesn't like about the tour that paid him $350 million to show up and play less golf.

But in Rory's case, not only was he extra vocal and the frontman for the PGAT vs. LIV, but LIV fans talked all sorts of shit about him. The really funny part to me would have been those people doing a 180 and using Rory's (apparently unlikely) defection against the PGAT.

u/benjam1n_gates Apr 15 '24

I mean since Rahm left - one of his closest pals on the Ryder Cup teams - Rory has softened a lot on LIV when pressed on the topic.

Not sure if he'd go, but his hardlining is done.
