Mcilroy has pledged to stick with PGA Tour, over the past year, he has strongly opposed the new arena initiated by the legendary golfer Greg Norman and was invested by Saudi Arabia. The system of this tournament is currently called Liv Golf Invitational Series, has just finished the opening ceremony in London on June 11 with the individual championship and four million USD belongs to South African Golfers Charl Schwartzel.
Last week, on the Washington Post, Norman 67, said Mcilroy was brainwashed by PGA Tour. After holding the Canadian Open 2022, the 33 -year -old player indirectly responded to his senior: "Today, I won the 21st victory at the PGA Tour, more than someone a championship. I will remember this day."
Norman won 20 PGA Tour titles, including both Major. He accumulated 331 weeks at the top of the world professional male golf table (OWGR), only after Tiger Woods (683 weeks) in the time at the position and Mcilroy was only 106 weeks.
