Rory McIlroy makes damning claim about what LIV officials were saying at Augusta

Rory McIlroy has publicly backed the DP World Tour's new mandate requiring players to choose between their circuit and LIV Golf. McIlroy alleged that LIV representatives openly discussed plans to dismantle the European Tour while on the premises of Augusta National earlier this year.

This stance aligns with CEO Guy Kinnings, who confirmed that LIV participants are now barred from DP World Tour events and face the loss of Ryder Cup eligibility. While LIV leadership has recently claimed a desire to coexist within the golf ecosystem, McIlroy highlighted the stark contrast between those current statements and the aggressive rhetoric used by the league earlier in the season.
