The Real Reason Behind The Anti-McIlroy Insulting Behavior

After the January 6th attack on the Capitol, the PGA pulled 2 major tournaments from Krasnov golf courses, he was furious.

Then, lo and behold, the Saudis become interested in golf, yeah OK. IMO, Krasnov pushed the Saudis to create LIV golf with the ultimate intention to bring down the PGA, he wants a merger, he wants retribution.
Rory McIlroy is on the players board looking into the merger and he is anti-merger, he is pro-PGA.

There was a question whether LIV golfers would be allowed to even play in the Ryder Cup, 3 LIV players were allowed to play, one was on the US team, Bryson DeChambeau, the face of LIV golf. Every effort was made during the Ryder Cup to make Bryson the top dog for the US team.

I don't know who this MC was who was leading the ignorant chants against Rory, but I'm guessing she is a Magat, but I could be wrong.

Rory is against the merger and Krasnov is for it, simple explanation for the attacks on Rory.

Sorry it's from NYPost: https://nypost.com/2025/09/15/sports/tom-brady-coming-out-of-retirement-for-flag-football-tournament-in-saudi-arabia/

The NFL legend will participate in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, it was announced on Monday.

The tournament will take place in Saudi Arabia on March 21, 2026 as part of the country’s Riyadh Season program — a series of events hosted in the city of Riyadh and conducted by Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, led by chairman Turki Alalshikh.

Alalshikh and Riyadh Season have hosted several major boxing fights in recent years, and now will showcase some of football’s biggest stars. It will also host WWE’s WrestleMania 43 in April 20


You just can't make shit up anymore because the more bizarre you imagine, the more true things seem to be.

Figured he's just a spoiled, filthy rich jock who lost his family because he just can't stay away from the game.
