Rory McIlroy Says He Feels Like 'Sacrificial Lamb' After PGA Tour, LIV Merger

is breaking his silence on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger, saying he feels like a"sacrificial lamb" after turning down a reported $500 MILLION payout from the Saudis last year, only to watch the organizations come together ... minus the half a billion dollar check.

But, despite his personal feelings, the 4x Majors winner admits he believes the merger is"ultimately good for the game of professional golf." 34-year-old McIlroy met with the media at RBC Canadian Open in Canada ... and as expected, Rory was asked about the news that shocked golf to its core on Tuesday, when the two bitter enemies decided to put aside their differences and instead"It's hard for me to not sit up here and feel somewhat like a sacrificial lamb. Feeling like I've put myself out there and this is what happens," McIlroy flatly told reporters.Rory added ...

Good or not for the game, McIlroy admits he doesn't like LIV, at all. And, he actually thinks LIV could go away with the merger. "I still hate LIV. I hope it goes away and I fully expect that it does and I think that's where the distinction here is. This is the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and the PIF. Very different from LIV. All I've tried to do is protect what the PGA Tour is and what the PGA Tour stands for, and I think it will continue to do that."
