Despite Past Outcry, Rory McIlroy Pledges Allegiance to PGA Tour by Insulting $850M Rumors

After $750 million worth of defection rumors flew around a couple of months ago, a recent figure that came to light about McIlroy’s defection was $850 million. One would think that an amount like this, the biggest LIV Golf deal yet, will make one week, but not the 4x major champion! He sure softened his stance against it, but that does not mean that he is defecting.

The Northern Irishman said bluntly in a recent interview that he has “never been offered a contract by LIV Golf.” He further reassured fans that he is not going anywhere by saying, “I will play the PGA Tour for the rest of my career.” The Irish golfer is a “traditionalist,” after all, so these words are not as shocking!
