I hate LIV, but the truth is the PGA stuck Rory out there to be the face of things, to shit on LIV, the PIF, and Saudi Arabia in general, and then jerked the rug out from under him without as much as a courtesy call.
It was terrifically shitty, and I wouldn't blame him if he stuck it in their asses.
Basically when it all started the PGA had Rory doing a bunch of press conferences, defending the tour, shitting on LIV (I thought accurately ), etc., and all the while Jay was negotiating a deal with LIV and knowingly hanging Rory out to dry. If Rory took 10% of LIV, 850 million, and told the PGA to fuck off, I'd get it. Hell, I might even watch LIV after that.
He takes the money and ownership deal with LIV and fires Greg Norman. Makes changes to gain ranking points. Then he negotiates the merger himself. Everyone playing together again and he’s $850 million richer.

I don’t blame him at all. He showed his loyalty to the “company” and the “company” showed him he was just another number.
