World No. 2 Rory McIlroy sent a message to those in the media and fans who think the Euprean team needs LIV golfers to win the Ryder Cup.
McIlroy thinks that the Euprean team will be just fine without those golfers on their team.
“No, I don’t think it would make a difference for us,” he said.
As many know already, McIlroy has made it no secret how he feels about LIV golf and the players who left the PGA for that tour, so it should come as no surprise that he has no interest in playing with them.
However, McIlroy wants to focus more on golf and less on the off-the-course issues facing the two leagues.
“I’ve been able to focus a little bit more just on golf and my game and even able to take two days at home between Chicago and here, getting to spend some time with the girls. That’s been really nice,” he said.
Then added “[I’m] maybe less emotionally involved. Last year it was to do with how can we make the product of the PGA Tour better and I think I was really invested in that.”
McIlroy also said it’s not like he doesn’t care about what’s happening, he just refuses to be too invested emotionally in off-the-course issues anymore.
“I’m on the board and I have to be involved and whenever something’s brought to the table I’ll vote on it yes or no. But, yeah, maybe just not as emotionally engaged on all of this other stuff,” he concluded.
