There are strong rumors that Rory McIlroy is going to join LIV Golf. That would mark a stunning turnaround, and there is a ton of traction behind it. While it’s far from a guarantee, it is believed that he was offered $850 million and will not be turning it down.
Most golfers are the subject of LIV rumors at one point or another, but not usually with this much reporting following it.However, McIlroy’s agent has come out to say that these rumors are not true at all. He called it fake news and said that there was zero truth to any of it. From his standing, the Irishman is not leaving for LIV.It’s worth noting, as golf fans have, that a denial by anyone is hardly concrete.
Many golfers themselves have said they weren’t going to LIV Golf before doing exactly that. Jon Rahm is a recent high-profile example, one that fans were quick to point out.”This rumor was started by Saudis” – Brandel Chamblee bashes rumours regarding Rory McIlroy’s LIV Golf switch”He’s good as gone, NOBODY is turning that money down because greed drives this world,” another added.”That’s what was said about Rahm and look what happened,” someone stated.
“That’s exactly what everyone says right before they leave!” another exclaimed.Not everyone is as skeptical, though. Many think he’s actually going to stay on the PGA Tour and not leave for LIV Golf.”He is not going anywhere his father is best friends with Jimmy Dunne,” another said.”Hopefully this non-story is now over,” one fan hoped.”We know. It’s just deflection…,” another said.
The initial report said that the announcement of McIlroy’s change would come after the Masters, but it hasn’t yet. As of now, he is still a member of the PGA Tour and is aiming to play again this weekend at the RBC Heritage.
