Rory McIlroy, one of the biggest critics of LIV Golf, and Brooks Koepka, who left for the Saudi-backed venture, will tee off together at U.S. Open.
McIlroy, who has not won a major title since the 2014 PGA Championship, had plenty to say on the issue, expressing surprise and mixed emotions over the venture, adding he didn't think the golfers who left for LIV Golf should be welcomed back.
"I think ultimately when I look at the bigger picture, 10 years down the line, this is going to be good for the game of professional golf," he said."I still hate LIV. I hope it goes away."
