Considering the former World’s No. 1 players wish to play with Ye, it was expected that Yeezy would have teed it up in the future. However, as recent news suggests, Adidas, the German sneaker giant whose partnership with Ye’s company, Yeezy, is estimated to be worth billions, has ended their ties with the rapper for his recent anti-Semitic remarks.

To be precise, Rory’s words were, “I would love to spend four or five hours in his company just to see what he’s like. It would be very interesting.”

Other golfers also stated which pop sensation they would like to play with. Some of these combinations were as follows: Jason Day (One Direction), Luke Donald (Calvin Harris), Christina Kim (Eminem), and Matt Every (Noel Gallagher).

McIlroy’s opinion on LIV Golf

Rory McIlroy is a well-known PGA loyalist. So it wasn’t a surprise when Rory thrashed the defectors playing on the DP World Tour. He took a jab at these players not once but twice. McIlroy very bluntly said, “They shouldn’t be here, but again that’s just my opinion.” 

He also addressed how the drama and uncertainty posed by the conflict between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, have garnered attention from followers and people who don’t follow golf.

Rory McIlroy said, “It’s incredibly divisive, and does it bring more eyeballs onto golf? Probably, because people are interested in the soap opera of it all, but that’s not golf. The most interesting thing about LIV is the rumors and who is going and who is not going.”
