We knew the PGA Tour players’ meeting in Toronto ahead of the RBC Canadian Open would be contentious.
And per a report, it did get heated between two players: Rory McIlroy and Grayson Murray.
Per the Golf Channel, a player said that when Murray yelled at PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan — something like, “We don’t trust you, Jay! You should resign right now! You lied to our face!” — McIlroy responded with a dig.
“Just play better, Grayson,” he reportedly said. That led to Murray telling McIlroy to “[expletive] off.”
PGA Tour golfer Wesley Bryan confirmed it, as did a source to The Telegraph. Bryan said there was “no beef” afterwards, though:
Confirmed. They were cordial and pleasant post meeting. We chatted as a group of players and we were laughing about the comment. No beef or hard feelings either way
