Rory McIlroy has been steadfast in his disapproval of LIV Golf, yet he’s softened his stance on the individuals who joined.

At first, the four-time major champion said that those who defected to LIV but eyed a return to the PGA Tour should have some sort of a punishment – but recently, he backtracked that.

It wasn’t the first time McIlroy changed his opinion on something – he once was critical of the Ryder Cup, calling it an "exhibition," but in the 2021 competition, he said it was the best event in golf "bar none."

When he turned pro in 2008, we were sat on a bench at Gleneagles and I had Rory telling me that the Ryder Cup meant nothing at all to him. ‘It was just an exhibition match. I’m here to win majors.’ There’s nobody bigger into the Ryder Cup now than Rory McIlroy."
