City AM, London’s most read financial paper, is reporting Rory McIlroy could be close to joining LIV Golf for $850 million plus an ownership stake in the league. This report comes on the back of strong rumours among media members at the Masters.


No way, right?

I mean I’m not turning down 850 million, but it would be a TOUGH look for Rory to go over there.

I know they don’t give a shite but is Rory really worth 850 million dollars? Insane money.

Jon Rahm wasn't worth what he was paid, nor were most of the deals they gave out.

I'm pretty sure he shot down rumors at his Masters presser

If he goes when would it be? Seems weird to jump in the middle of the season unless something else is going on.

By most, you mean all.

Everyone was overpaid, but they have to do that to get you to leave the Tour. Rory leaving would suck, because it would take more viewers away from the PGA than it would add to LIV.

But ya know, being a golf fan is already starting to be worse outside the majors anyways.

Also, Rory is in the field for the RBC so that would be bizarre timing and I don’t know how they’d add one team.

You either die a hero, or you LIV long enough to see yourself become the villain… amirite?

All I want for Christmas is for Pat Perez to be on Rory's team!

After Jay marching him out there for a year as the face of anti-LIV and then pulling the rug out from underneath him, I wouldn’t blame him one bit.

LIV Golf and PGA Tour Merger Revealed by Mr. Short Game Podcast

I'm not sure what a Tiger Woods team accomplishes.

That entire proposal sounds like complete garbage.

Interesting. So he’s speculating Rory to LIV is part of the merger? I figured Rory would eventually play team golf on a world tour, but figured it would be further down the road.

This commercial with Abu Dhabi in the background makes all the sense now:

Calling City AM the most read newspaper is ridiculous

quote:

City A.M. is a free business-focused newspaper distributed in and around London, England, with an accompanying websit


It’s literally given out for free. They don’t sell it

Also, in their article

The claims could not be verified


It’s just sad where we are. “Articles” written based on nothing and then click click click
