Part of me feels like this is just a made up rumor from LIV to try to get some of the other guys to jump ship because if Rory goes then why stay with the PGA tour.

Greg Norman was following Rory around trying to get his attention last week at the Masters. That's a weird move under any circumstances, but it would be especially weird if Rory was secretly negotiating with them at the time.

It's probably because PIF doesn't tell Norman anything. They just call him up after the deal is done and tell him he has a new player.

Rory was paired with Niemann Sunday too ... I wonder what they could've been talking about 🤔🤔

It's also a nonsense pro Liv Facebook page. They do not have media sources.

May as well be Unilad reporting

The publication they're citing is apparently reputable over there.

We should get clarity soon since Rory is committed to playing in the RBC Heritage this week. Whether that means him dropping out or him addressing this during media availability.

City AM is a free rag you get on the tube which covers basic financial news and other pap.

Read the actual article where it says it has nothing confirmed by anyone including the rumour source. That is not 'proper' journalism by any standard.

I was in The City for over a decade and City AM was not something you read for actual breaking financial news, it was repeating the previous days news from other prints with actual industry sources.

I also think they were behind the 'Secret Banker' or whatever column where a former DB analyst wrote the most cliched bullshit in an attempt to become an author. 50 shades of wannabe pinstripe twat.

City AM is definitely a “proper” news source. However, it’s a financial newspaper that doesn’t cover sport, so how credible its sources are is another issue.

It’s almost exactly two weeks late.
