Rory McIlroy begins his defence of the RBC Canadian Open on Thursday afternoon.
The Northern Irishman has been in the news this week as the dust settles on the controversial partnership between the PGA Tour and LIV. The two warring factions will soon be operating under the same umbrella bringing an end to a year long feud between PGA and LIV.
McIlroy has been the biggest defender of the PGA Tour during that time and was this week put in the uncomfortable position of being partners with LIV. While McIlroy insists he still 'hates' the Saudi backed tour and wants it to go away, he will undoubtedly be keen to refocus on his own game as he bids to go back-to-back in Canada.
