“F**K Rory”: Rory McIlroy Gets Brutally Daggered by Former Ryder Cup Comrade, Taunting His ‘Selfish’ PGA Tour Legacy

Everyone has a price. Even Rory McIlroy. If you think he is above the ethical standards of the rank-and-file, his former teammate says the joke is on you. The Northern Irish golfer’s Ryder Cup comrade claims McIlroy has vested interests in the Tour because he wants to “preserve his revenue streams.” As per the LIV Golf Pro, McIlroy’s high road leads to the same destination as the LIV Golfers’ – his bank. How true is this? 

Rory McIlroy emerged as the biggest backer of the PGA Tour since LIV Golf posed an existential threat. Hailed as the savior of the Tour, and by extension the game of golf, the 24-time PGA tour winner is seen as a hero by many who could steer the ship to a coast in times of a hurricane. But his former peer won’t have any of it.

Rory McIlroy is deceitful, as per his former teammate

Blasting the Northern Irishman for his affected superiority, his former Ryder Cup teammate said, “F**k Rory. I’m so sick of hearing about how he’s some kind of hero who is saving golf. He’s bought and paid for like everybody else, it’s just that his money is coming from the other side.” Alan Shipnuck quoted one of his former teammates in his book, ‘LIV and Let Die’. The LIV Golfer, however, spoke on condition of anonymity.

Taking it a notch further, the European pro said that the Tour and McIlroy were both complicit in backdoor negotiations. PGA Tour signed a landmark deal with Whoop, that allowed golfers’ biometric data to be synced with the most elevated moments on the course. However, McIlroy’s detractor claimed the four-time Major winner “was given a $10 million equity stake that is now worth $200 million.”

Moreover, the former DPWT pro insists the 34-year-old got his first big ‘media’ break, because “the Tour brokered” it. The four-time Major winner launched GolfPass, a digital subscription-based platform that has exclusive content from McIlroy and includes a slew of member benefits in 2019.

The LIV Golfer maintained that the Tour is so obsequious with Rory McIlroy that “they’ve given him his own league (TGL).” However, he feels it might cost the Tour heavily as “it (TGL) will compete with the Tour for viewers and advertisers.” The LIV Golfer further slammed the “fanboys” who worship the PGA Tour pro.

McIlroy is not a messiah, not to the LIV Golfer

Rory McIlroy has time and again spoken in favor of the Tour slamming the PIF-funded league for its renegade approach. However, the LIV Golf pro brushes it aside as a facade. “Rory’s fighting so hard for the Tour because he wants to preserve his revenue streams, not because he cares about the Tour itself.”

The golfer laments that the blissful ignorance of golf fans goes on to show how deeply the real issues are buried. “That he is being held up as some kind of savior on Twitter and by all the fanboys with their shi**y podcasts tells you how little people really understand what’s going on,” the quote further read.

Things don’t end there. Alan Shipnuck even reached out to McIlroy’s manager to fact-check the passage.

McIlroy, notably, resigned from the Tour Policy Board citing personal reasons. However, he is still seen as the unofficial spokesperson for the Tour by many.
