Rory McIlroy has opened up on the toll on his mental health that the bitter feud between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf caused, but the four-time major champion insists he has no regrets

Rory Mcilroy admits his mental health was "challenged" at the height of the bitter feud between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

The Northern Irishman's stance has softened in recent times after feeling like a "sacrificial lamb" when the shock announcement was made last summer that the rival tours had reached a framework agreement to merge. The 34-year-old told the I Can Fly Podcast that had he not built up a thick skin throughout his playing career, the saga would have taken a more significant toll.

"I think if I was thin-skinned, I wouldn't have put myself out there and been as outspoken as I was because I wouldn't have been able to handle what came my way."Someone said to me a lot of the time, it's the hard thing to do the right thing and that's the way my parents raised me and that's the way I've tried to live my life. You want to do the right thing, but most of the time the right thing is also the hard thing.
