The Northern Irishman faced the media on Wednesday to discuss the controversial PGA Tour and LIV merger

Rory McIlroy has been told that he has been 'chucked under a bus full of money' after the controversial merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

McIlroy became the de-facto face of the PGA Tour and was involved in a number of feuds with LIV defectors like Patrick Reed and Phil Mickelson, and LIV head honcho Greg Norman.While McIlroy's stance on Saudi money being involved in golf has softened, he still maintains that he 'hates' LIV and wants to see it go away.

Sky News' business correspondent Paul Kelso certainly feels this way and had this to say on the situation, "I've rarely seen an athlete as rounded, informed or principled as Rory McIlroy and golf has chucked him under a bus full of money." But others have been more critical of McIlroy and believe he should have focused more on his own golfing game than the sport as a whole.
