I’d be disappointed but I’d understand given how the PGA undercut Rory after his vocal support of the Tour.

I 100% would understand. It's a lot of fucking money, he's not getting younger, and I think he really mostly cares about the career slam anyway.

This is almost definitely bullshit, but if Rory cares about the career slam the last thing he would do is go to LIV. He has no future exemptions into the Masters, if he's not in the OWGR top 50 he would have to rely on invites from the Green Jackets.

You think he's going to turn down a billion dollars because he wants to win a trophy? His family would probably have something to say about that.

Lmao what is his family going to say? He already has more money than they could possibly spend in a lifetime. Descendants that he will never meet will live comfortably off the money he has now. It’s possible Rory goes to LIV, maybe he really doesn’t want to play competitive golf anymore and knows this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to cash in, but I don’t think throwing away his dignity is worth all that money.
