Rory McIlroy had prevailed as LIV Golf's biggest critic, but the Northern Irishman appears to still share a good relationship with one of the rival league's biggest names in Brooks Koepka
Rory McIlroy showed his class at last year's PGA Championship, after chasing LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka through a car park to congratulate him on his fifth major victory.
On a number of occasions, McIlroy had been hyper-critical of the rival, Saudi-funded league, and those who made the decision to join, previously claiming he would rather 'retire' than join the LIV setup.Whilst competing at last year's PGA Championship at Oak Hill though, the Northern Irishman showed there was no bad blood between himself and LIV member, Koepka, who had been crowned champion that week.
Just moments earlier, the Northern Irishman was seen letting out his frustrations after once again missing out on the major stage. McIlroy has not won a major since his 2014 PGA Championship victory at Valhalla, and it appeared the ongoing wait was beginning to grate on his game. "I'm not at the stage of my life where I feel like I can do these two-week bootcamps. I feel good enough to be f****** top-ten in my head, but not good win, like winning f****** majors." McIlroy ended the week at Oak Hill at two-under-par for the tournament, seven shots back of Koepka.
