Rory McIlroy hits out at “duplicitous” golfers in wake of Brooks Koepka’s LIV golf move

Rory McIlroy has slammed his fellow golfers who have joined the LIV golf series. The Irishman has launched multiple waves of criticism on the controversial breakaway circuit founded by Greg Norman.

The 32-year-old said he was surprised by the "duplicitous" behaviour of some of the golfers who turned their back on the PGA Tour. "Am I surprised?" asked McIlroy ahead of the Travelers Championship. "Yes, because of what he [Koepka] said previously.

“I think that's why I'm surprised at a lot of these guys because they say one thing and then they do another, and I don't understand that and I don't know if that's for legal reasons or if they can't - I have no idea. But it's pretty duplicitous on their part to say one thing and then do another thing…the whole way through, in public and private, all of it." His comments came after Brooks Koepka became the latest star to join the Saudi-backed series.
