Not read all this and Brooks interview but does he/ Brooks see anyone as a rival
Definitely said to provoke a reaction so from that perspective he's got what he wanted.
I think you're reading too much into it.There’s honesty with humility, and there’s honesty with disrespect.
Brooks says nothing he is labelled boring.
Brooks speaks the truth he is being disrespectful.
The man cant win. Except majors, he wins those.

Then their is talent which demands respect.
Someone asked about his 'rivalry' with Rory and he said he doesn't see it as a rivalry because Rory hasn't competed with him for any majors. Is it really all that disrespectful? Obviously just sees himself as a lone wolf rather than getting into individual battles.There are many ways to say something. It really isn’t hard to be respectful and still say the same thing.
Someone has pointed out that the statement has been taken in isolation. When you look at the full chat he isn't making a personal point against Rory, imo, but the journos have been a bit naughty with this.If that is indeed what he said, then it lacks class, and I'd say the same had Rory said anything similar, surely our game is above trash talk.

The title of the thread is “Brooks slaps down Roryâ€. Why that particular title? Because what he said was clearly disrespectful and everyone knows it. He could of easily of said a hundred different things.
As I said earlier, the comment about Rory was only one small part of a larger interview, and in response to the media constantly asking him about Rory, since Rory and Tiger is all they care about. I think his answer was just truthful and not really disrespectful at all. They just blew it up for headlines.The title of the thread is “Brooks slaps down Roryâ€. Why that particular title?

Cos Brooks slaps him down. 🙄

That might be your perception, possibly because you already didn't like Brooks. I read it more as a "stop asking me about Rory all the time" put-down.You can still be truthful but show poise and humility too. It doesn’t take much to read between the lines. It came across that he was basically saying Rory was a has-been and unworthy opponent because he hadn’t won a major in a few years. or at least it’s been said in a way that can be clearly construed as such.
He could of easily said something like “Rory’s a great golfer, legend of the game, but I don’t feel any rivalry as my focus has been on majors and he hasn’t produced his best in majors in a whileâ€.
That was just off the top of my head but it’s pretty much what he said but in a much nicer way.
"Legend of the game" as if he would say that!
