Old thread
….
I said at the very least he needs to equal Phil's majors which is two more and I feel because Phil was/is such an iconic player he would need to surpass him to be considered "greater" and that for me would be 8 majors, nothing odd about that in my mind anyway.
PGA Tour events are currently greatly diminished, you can choose to believe otherwise, there's been plenty of mental gymnastics to airbrush the guys that have gone to LIV but it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny imo.
If Rory wins the Masters he surpasses Phil. He only needs one more but that specific one. Otherwise, I'd agree with you (albeit, he'd only need 3 to beat Phil).
Jesus a website puts out a bit of clickbait and all other news companys jump on it! Poor journalism these days! Rory is playing for legacy! Him and Tiger are probably the richest in the sport always were apart from some of the LIV guys now..
They're not reporting it. They're only quoting the original news outlet that did report it first.
So what are they doing? Reporting that it's been reported?
well in fairness , he is probably going to Liv , it ain’t some crazy story. Even the figure isn’t particularly crazy if Rahmbo got over 500m.
He's not going to LIV. Rorys manager has described it as fake news.
Considering everything he has said, it is a crazy story.
he will be going to Liv. His softened stance was the start.
Zero evidence to support the opinion he will be going to LIV.
I don’t know why he was getting so exercised with Liv in the first place.
So professional golfers go after bigger money shocker. Who’d have guessed?
He lost friendships with the holier than thou stance he initially adopted. Then he softened his stance when the merger was proposed but sought to make sure he would be on corresponding money.
Now he might jump ship entirely. He’s making a bit of a knob of himself.
sorry in my opinion he will be going to LiV. His softened stance was the start of it.
I don't think Phil is anymore iconic than Rory, both generational players.
Yes. Reporting that someone else has reported it. They don't have any other sources etc.
Everything they mentioned they were just quoting the other outlet.
that’s laughable.
You can never rule out anybody moving to the sportswashing tour but so far anybody that goes there is no longer heard of outside of the majors.
For me they are pariahs with no respect for lots of people. I can't go any further than that here.
I don't think Rory will ever go there.
alright shut down by Rory
Please do………
Worth a listen
Outlines what the tour may look like after merge based on what he's heard, that it should be announced soon. Tiger and Rory getting a team each. Sounds possible (aside from where he says it's a reason why several players are currently playing badly)
why?
850 million and an ownership stake in the league is what's rumoured. Making a hypocrite of himself but as Neil Diamond said '' Money talks''.
Just shows how gullible people are with fake news.
Hes shut it down already, how's he making a hypocrite of himself? It's not happening.
Oh buddy.. tongue. in. cheek.
You’d really have to wonder about the “journalist” who first published the story. Would Norman really have followed McIlroy around Augusta last week like a demented stalker if he was also in the process of negotiating a move to them?
Jorno's will write anything to make headlines
I suspect a lot more people have now heard of City AM.
It amazes me how people are so quick to believe fake news these days… Even on here..
I wouldn’t get all uppidity about it, there will be a lot more rumours about players in the months/years ahead, some may be unbelievable, and then turn out to be true. I doubt many expected John Rahm to jump so soon after the Masters, but the sums made it understandable. It’s the money mentioned in relation to McIlroy and the way he was screwed over by Jay Monaghan that at least gave pause for thought.
Considering Mcilroy flip flops like a wet fish on most of his public utterances. Coupled with how much of a tit he looked once the proposed merger was announced.
It's not surprising the general public bought into the story. Only a fool would believe Mcilroys morals are the driving factor in his stance. Only thing he's interested in is being the main character.
Hes already the most wealthy player bar woods. He doesn't needs LIV money the way the rest of the field do.
