McIlroy addresses Scheffler controversy as star unemployed after £16m payout
The end of the DP World Tour season is quickly approaching with the tour-concluding tournament at the Jumeirah Golf Estates (Earth Course) in Dubai just one week away. The PGA Tour season remains in its off-season ahead of the resumption in January, while reports suggest that BC Partners have abandoned their plans to rescue the controversial breakaway LIV Golf league.
TL;DR
- Rory McIlroy defends Scottie Scheffler's lack of practice during the off-season, stating it's his personal choice and his status in golf is sufficient.
- Lee Westwood claims he is currently 'unemployed' as the future of LIV Golf remains uncertain.
- LIV Golf is reportedly in financial trouble, with a potential investor, BC Partners, having pulled out of a deal.
- Westwood has not signed terms with LIV 2.0 and is contemplating his next steps, noting he has earned a substantial amount from his time with the tour.
- Jon Rahm has expressed unwillingness to join the second version of LIV Golf.
