[Golf Topic] 'Jallyupa' McIlroy "I Wish LIV Golf Would Disappear"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…World No. 2 Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland, photo) expressed opposition to LIV Golf, which is supported by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund.

Kyle Porter, a CBS reporter, shared McIlroy's interview on social media on the 11th (Korean time). McIlroy said, "There is no place for LIV Golf in the world of golf," and "I am against LIV Golf." He added, "I hope LIV Golf disappears even by tomorrow." This interview has not yet been broadcast. McIlroy has often made 'cursed' remarks while leading the opposition against LIV Golf.

Before LIV Golf was launched, he disparaged it by saying it would "drown," and once its launch was confirmed, he criticized it as "a tournament similar to the senior tour where older and less competitive players participate." McIlroy is a world-class player with 21 career wins on the PGA Tour. He has collected trophies at The Open, the US Open, and the PGA Championship, and if he wins the Masters, he will achieve the 'Career Grand Slam,' sweeping all four major championships.
