The Full Swing’s season 2’s extended trailer just dropped! Interestingly enough, Rory McIlroy’s words have left the golf world gasping for air. His blunt reaction to the announcement of a merger between the frenemies, the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, over the last year has been shocking for many of us.
McIlroy was seen expressing how loyal PGA Tour players like himself “feel a lot of betrayal” after the massively unexpected announcement dropped. What really struck a chord with the rest of the golf world, however, was how he expressed his own feelings on the matter.
The star said, “I feel like a sacrificial lamb,” while expressing his complete disappointment with the Tour. Even though things have changed over the months, it would be a sight to witness the raw feelings of big names like the Northern Irishman in the famous Netflix series.
