American golf talent Talor Gooch could be playing with fire after picking out Rory McIlroy for praise despite his war of words with LIV Golf boss Greg Norman.
It's no secret that McIlroy and Norman—CEO of the rival competition—are not on the best of terms in the wake of golf's ongoing civil war. That's after McIlroy emerged as one of the most vocal critics of the Saudi-funded series and a prominent proponent for the PGA Tour.
So it may anger 'Shark' to hear LIV defector Gooch naming not just one but two PGA loyalists among his top talents in the world right now. Gooch won a single PGA event before confirming his exit for LIV pastures in May 2022, though it's clear he retains a lot of respect for some of those he left behind.
