Rory McIlroy has revealed that rumors about LIV Golf being defunded were circulating on the PGA Tour well before the Saudi-backed league's reported end. Speaking ahead of the PGA Championship, McIlroy said he was blindsided by the speed of the collapse, though whispers had been growing for weeks.
Jon Rahm, a key figure in LIV Golf, responded to being labeled a villain by some fans. He defended his decision to join the breakaway league, citing financial security and a desire to grow the game globally. Rahm acknowledged the criticism but said he remains focused on his game.
The PGA Championship coverage begins at 8:45pm AEST on Foxtel and Kayo Sports. The tournament marks a pivotal moment as the golf world adjusts to the shifting landscape following LIV Golf's reported financial struggles.
