He only wants to play majors
He mailed it in today at +4
He won’t play the 15 events as he wants to play overseas instead

As someone who is new to playing and watching golf, this dude comes off as a major douchebag.

He wants the tiger treatment and he’s earned it. They’re going to let him play however many events he wants. He said earlier this week he and Rolapp already worked it out.
Also he is probably mailing it in this week but more in protest of the playoff format. He rightfully thinks it’s dumb that there is no benefit to finishing first in the standings versus 20th as far as east lake. And he’s locked into to the top 30.

This is a head scratcher for sure. McElroy, tied with Lee Trevino at 12th for all time majors versus the greatest to ever do it.

And most fans rightfully think he is acting like a spoiled little bitch, per usual.

Can’t say I blame him. He’s rich as hell and still young. Won the grand slam. Got thrown under the bus by the Tour.

He was hailed as a phenom coming into the pro game and as of now he's 2 majors away from his 2nd grand slam. Would make him one of only 3 do ever do that. His game and star power in golf have stood the test of time like many of the other greats.

I mean we could get into the firemen and plumbers versus current depth of the game discussion. And talk about how outside of tiger the number of major winners getting above 5 is significantly less than it was in the 50s/60s/70s/80s. The game is so much deeper and the equipment levels the playing field so much more. From 1946-1986 seven players got to seven or more majors. Since 1986 there’s been one, Tiger woods.
Other than Tiger, Rory, Phil and Faldo are the only guys to even have more than five majors in that timeframe. Extremely good chance Rory gets to at least seven which would make him almost inarguably the second most accomplished player of the last 50 years, depending on what Scottie does.
He also probably saved the tour. Him and Scottie both just refusing to even consider LIV.
But separately I mean in what universe does Rolapp tell Rory he can’t play on the PGA tour because he only played 14 events. Or 13. Or 10. Nobody wants that. They’ll pass a rule saying anyone with six majors and 15 years of membership is exempt from the requirement.

Never got the Rory hate in this group. Dude plays so great golf.
Posted on 8/14/26 at 7:56 am to BRsundog
The hate has nothing to do with his golf. It's his mouth. He would do better to just stfu sometimes.
Compare him to Scottie. Rory's swing looks so much better its insane. If we were only looking at golf swings everyone would choose Rory over Scottie. But when you add a microphone it becomes a different story.

I don't admire Rory like it seems like all of the golf journalists and podcasters do. However, I do like that he speaks his mind. It's nice when someone actually gives their opinion on a matter rather than giving some cliche answer. I think the same thing about Scottie. Him going into an existential discussion about wondering why he does this during the Open last year was good to hear. It makes them much more relatable.

I agree that its nice to hear them talk. But Rory talks like a guy who has only been married for 6 months. He needs to stop and think about what he is saying and how his audience is gonna respond to it.
If he would be more thoughtful with his responses, he would get a lot less hate. But he usually comes across as Smug McGee.

it's ok if your favorite golfer has a bad round. You don't have to defend every single round he plays and chalk up a bad round to him protesting the playoffs

I get not hating Rory, but not understanding why others don't like him? Come on. It's pretty simple, he is a giant douche that sounds like a little twat half the time he opens his mouth. It has nothing to do with his golf game, everyone knows he's a great golfer.
