Rory McIlroy doubles down on Ryder Cup stance in pointed rejection of LIV rebels

Rory McIlroy has again aimed some savage words in the direction of LIV Golf players as he continues to play a pivotal role in golf's civil war.

The Northern Irish star has already unveiled plans for his own 'golf league' venture with Tiger Woods, in a clear bid to attract a new audience to PGA events and stave off the threat of the Saudi-backed tour. And last week, at the BMW PGA Championship, McIlroy publicly argued that no defectors should be part of the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.

Henrik Stenson has already been stripped of the European captaincy over his own rebel move, whilst tournament stalwarts like Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, and Sergio Garcia had already moved over. On the American side, the likes of Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau are also seemingly ruled out.
