Fascinating dynamic between Rory McIlroy and Tom McKibbin. From same town in Northern Ireland. Rory mentors Tom. Tom turns pro at 18. Gets onto DP World Tour and finally gets his PGA Tour card. Then LIV come knocking. Helluva decision for McKibbin!

Easy to say for Rory who has $$. No guarantee that Tom comes out onto the PGA tour and is successful

Rory acting like it's okay to black ball players who play golf 14 weeks somewhere else is the problem.

Mentors are meant to give advice and guide….. in private. Kinda messed up he is bringing private conversations to the forefront

Poor of Rory to publically put more pressure on the kid than he needs to have. Tom has his own career and own choices he can make. Rory should be letting him deal with that privately and respecting it either way when he makes it.

Can Rory come up with a Jumeirah/Titleist deal at 10 mill a year for Tom ... like Rory had early on?

Back in January, Rory McIlory explained how he advised Tom McKibbin not to join LIV, in part because it would limit his access to majors. McKibbin won the Hong Kong Open yesterday which earned him a spot in the Masters and Open Championship next year at Royal Birkdale.

Tom McKibbin birdies his final hole for an official course record 60 at Hong Kong Golf Club to lead Hong Kong Open. (Patrick Reed’s 59 last year not in the record books as preferred lies.) Seriously impressive stuff from McKibbin. Now in pole position for Masters and Open spots.

Rory McIlroy was asked by Bob Harig whether he was surprised that the PIF pulled the funding to LIV Golf. His immediate reaction was to joke that he “loves talking about this,” but then when the question developed he gave a thoughtful answer and said he is “glad” he was wrong to suggest the PGA Tour do a deal with the PIF and also said he knew about it in March/April, before players on LIV did. He then spoke about what LIV could look like in the future. This is worth a watch. Rory McIlroy PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy was asked after The Open whether he’d like to see Bryson DeChambeau play in the Irish Open on the DP World Tour: “I mean, I think that would be great for the tournament, absolutely. Having someone like Bryson at the Irish Open, yeah, it would be great for the tournament.” He then was asked whether the national open should remain as a stand alone DP World Tour event with the upcoming PGA Tour changes: “If it's going to stay -- I guess next year it might change because of the Ryder Cup in Adare, but if it's going to stay in that September date, I don't see how it becomes part of the PGA Tour season when the PGA Tour is going to be played from February to August.” The Amgen Irish Open is to be held at Trump Doonbeg in September and there are strong rumours Bryson may make an appearance.

Marco Penge just got his PGA Tour card and is longer than Rory. Hits 190 ball speed in tournaments. How his body gets to this impact position I have no idea. The modern swing is truly built for speed. The next gen is going to be so long.

Rory McIlroy talked for more than 3 minutes about Jon Rahm, the DP World Tour penalties and the Ryder Cup. "In my opinion, it's a really generous deal. Like it's a much softer deal than what Brooks took to come back and play on the PGA Tour. "Obviously Jon doesn't think so, and he's obviously well within his rights to think that way. But I just don't see what more the European Tour can do to accommodate these guys to retain their membership."

Rory McIlroy thinks Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton should pay $6 million in DP World Tour fines to play in the next Ryder Cup. One of the biggest stories in golf right now is what will happen to Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton’s DP World Tour fines and will they maintain Ryder Cup eligibility for Adare Manor in 2027. As it stands, both Jon and Tyrrell, among other LIV players, have appealed their fines putting them in “stay” with no current information on when their appeal will be heard. Speaking ahead of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, Rory McIlroy thinks Jon and Tyrrell should just pay those fines and “prove” their commitment to the Ryder Cup: “Yeah, absolutely. Main thing is -- look, this is my opinion. We went really hard on the Americans about being paid to play the Ryder Cup, and we also said that we would pay to play in Ryder Cups. There's two guys that can prove it. Great. I think that's -- yeah.” This is a very interesting comment. What Rory McIlroy is suggesting here is that Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton pay $6 million each out of their own pockets to play in the same type of events that Rory gets enormous appearance fees for “supporting”. It’s also worth noting that Rory also plays the majority of his golf on a competitor to the DP World Tour and he doesn’t get fined for doing so. What do you think about this? Are the fines justified and should Jon and Tyrrell pay them?

Off the back of the news that the DP World Tour PGA TOUR and Asian Tour have signed a multi-year partnership, ex-long time European Tour and LIV Golf player Lee Westwood is concerned for the future of the Euro tour. The DP World Tour’s partnership with the PGA Tour means the top 10 players on the ‘Race to Dubai’ automatically receive tour cards to play in America, meaning the DPWT potentially loses their best players to the US tour each season.

In a chat for Skratch and the pod he said they would come back with “no status whatsoever” and get in line “behind the Tour School and you start at the bottom of the barrel.” “Or better yet send them to Korn Ferry Tour.” For them “to leave and just come back and play at any point is just wrong. Totally against that…I think that’s a terrible idea to let the guys who were not loyal to the PGA Tour leave and just walk back with nothing but a slap on the wrist, and then a let’s go boys. I think that’s just wrong. “Start over, earn your way back. That’s what I would do.” Strong opinion from PGA TOUR Champions star.

The International Series, LIV Golf’s pathways system, had elevated events and taken top stars around the world via the Asian circuit. Last year, Bryson DeChambeau played in India to become the first reigning major champion for decades to visit the country. LIV Golf have offered no comment at this time. Story below from Evin Priest

Rory McIlroy has never minced his words when it comes to his views on LIV Golf. He was asked about it again yesterday, and in typical Rory fashion, after saying he was “too judgemental” with players that went, he then said “if you want to be the most competitive golfer you can be, this (PGA Tour) is the place to be. And if you don't want to play here, I think that says something about you.” Speaking after a 5 under par 67 to climb inside the top 10 of the Truist Championship, Rory spoke about his thoughts on the news that the Saudi Arabian PIF was pulling funding to the league: “Yeah, look, I think everyone sort of knows my views on LIV and where it stands in the game of golf. I don't think I need to rehash any of that. It's never been for me and, look, it doesn't mean that LIV is going to go away. They're going to go and try and find alternative investment, whatever that may look like. But when one of the wealthiest sovereign wealth funds in the world thinks that you're too expensive for them, that sort of says something (laughing).” He then was asked what a possible route back for players to the PGA Tour would look like: “It's a question if they do want to come back. Obviously we have seen the quotes over the last few days. And, you know, it seems like some of the guys, if -- again, it all depends on what happens to LIV. But if it is a scenario where they have the option to come back and play on the traditional tours, you know, I think Brian Rolapp has said anything that makes this Tour stronger, anything that makes the DP World Tour stronger, I think everyone should be open to that. That's just good business practice. “So, but again I think there's going to be a lot of sort of bridges to cross to get there, just because, you know, obviously the guys over there are under contract and if they are able to keep it going and get a schedule together next year, it seems like those guys are still going to play the majority of their golf on LIV, in whatever form it takes.” That was followed up with a question about whether he was surprised that LIV Golf players have been outspoken about not wanting to return to the PGA Tour: “Yeah, which is totally fine. Like, again, I think I've said at the start, I was probably too judgmental with the guys that went because I was seeing it from my point of view and maybe not seeing it from other points of view. But again, I'm not going to judge anyone for not wanting to play on the PGA Tour. “I don't know, you know, does that mean that they go play DP World Tour maybe; if that's a pathway, that would make the DP World Tour stronger, and I would be delighted with that, because that's my home Tour, at the end of the day. “But this is, if you want to be the most competitive golfer you can be, this (PGA Tour) is the place to be.

He obviously is a very competitive person and wants to compete at the highest level. I think he made the decision that he thought competing at the highest level meant coming back to the PGA Tour. “You've seen others say this recently. Patrick Reed said it in Dubai last week. It seems like some of those guys are maybe starting to realise that they're not getting everything that they wanted out of going over there, and that's obviously a great thing for the PGA Tour.”
