Rory McIlroy dispelled a British outlet’s report of a blockbuster move to LIV Golf on Tuesday.
“I honestly don’t know how these things get started,” McIlroy told NBC’s Todd Lewis. “I’ve never been offered a number from LIV, and I’ve never contemplated going to LIV.”
He added: “I will play the PGA TOUR for the rest of my career.”
City A.M., a London-based business and financial paper, reported Monday that McIlroy was close to joining LIV Golf in a stunning $850-million deal, plus 2% equity in the rival tour.
McIlroy’s manager, Sean O’Flaherty, dismissed the rumors as well.
