4 majors is a massive underachievement for a player of Rory’s ability.
He’s bottled more than 4

The only winners from all this is a small number of players who are going to be a lot richer - either from the LIV payouts or the increased money the PGA are giving
Image rights it seems a big one for US sport- not sure how the team sports work but the PGAT have all the image rights and the PIP ( which I think is a joke ) was created to try and satisfy the likes of Mickleson who were fighting for more image rights and more money
And then LIV come in throwing money all over the place and the players are going to leap on that and then it’s just got very messy from then
The sniping , the insults - each LIV fan on social media coming from the same script and every day there is something from them pointing fingers at the PGAT or Monahan or Pelly etc - they have a lack of awareness of the issues they are creating - the PGAT is far from perfect and has issues but the idea that LIV is the shining knight to rescue golf is just as absurd
Right now the professional sport is a mess and people looking from outside but just be scratching their heads - GN has always wanted to destabilise the PGAT and right now he has been given the ammunition to provide that

It's all a bit of a mess tbh
Cam Smith is massive though first real signing of an in form player.

When it comes to Rory there are a number in the trench’s when it comes to opinion - bottler is a common one and when he does win most of the time the opinion is that he was “gifted” the win . Rory will rarely get any credit when it comes to his golf ? Not sure if it’s jealousy or they just enjoy him not winning

McIlroy is the Andy Murray of golf. I'm not bothered when he wins just find it hillarious when he bottles it. This year's open will go down as one of the biggest sporting flops of recent years.

In what way was a it a “flop” ? No credit at all to Smiths stunning play during the middle of the round. Rory still went round the last round under par ?
How is that a bottle or a flop ?Sometimes it seems some just want to look at the negative- Smith won the open with a stunning final round - nothing to do with anyone bottling or flopping

The guy needed an eagle on the 18th and didn't even go for the green! It's not just Smith who beat him either. The other Cameron did. Unlucky roryIn what way was a it a “flop” ? No credit at all to Smiths stunning play during the middle of the round. Rory still went round the last round under par ?

He did go for the green ?
The ball landed on the upslope which killed it and then he tried to chip which is why he didn’t get the birdie ?But he didn’t bottle anything or flop

I don't understand some of the stuff Rory comes out with.
"I hate what it's doing to the game of golf. It's going to be hard for me to stomach going to Wentworth in a couple of weeks' time and seeing 18 of them there. That just doesn't sit right with me"
I mean, has he genuinely fallen out with guys like Poulter and Westwood, who I imagine he would have been good friends with, over this?? Just because they chose to earn their money elsewhere? I find it a bit baffling.

Tell us you know nothing about golf without telling us you know nothing about golf!
It’s amusing when people against LiV are called out as PGA Tour shills, when a lot of the pro LiV brigade are blatantly just trolling or morons. (Not all of you, just some ?)

And Joacquin Nieman as well an excellent young golfer. It's a real shame how this is splintering the game. The Saudis have no interest in growing or developing the game. They just want in at the top and the rest can feed into it.
That can be levelled at the PGA but it does allow routes in and supports that activity

Anirban Lahiri also making the switch, as per the LIV golf website.
No surprises of course there, all the names had been rumoured for several days.
