So much for The Great White Shirtless Shark convincing Rory McIlroy to take the Saudi’s money, reports the Daily Mail's Derek Lawrenson.
When asked by Sportsmail, the Northern Irishman made it clear in no uncertain terms that his opposition to a proposed Saudi world tour remains unequivocal.
If the Saudis thought that appointing Norman as the face of their new operation would lead to a player exodus from the established tours, they might well be dismayed by McIlroy’s coruscating verdict.
I’d say my view only hardened after the first appointments,’ he responded, referring to Norman.
‘Then, when other selected individuals also came on board, I’d say that just hardened my opinion even more.’
Can’t these Floridians all just get along?
