Meanwhile, World No. 2 and Masters favorite Rory McIlroy has also revealed key details about his dynamics with the PGA Tour defectors, calling it a “nuanced situation.

It’s a very nuanced situation and there’s different dynamics. You know, it’s okay to get on with Brooks and DJ and maybe not get on with some other guys that went to LIV, right,” revealed the four-time major winner about his relationship with the likes of Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson.
