If McIlroy has decided it\u0027s time just look out for No. 1, it\u0027s not hard to see what drove him there,
The two-time defending champion at the RBC Canadian Open put himself in great position to make it three in a row on Saturday, shooting a six-under 66 to reach 12-under. He will begin Sunday in a six-way tie for second, two strokes behind 54-hole leader C.T. Pan.
If Rory has decided it’s time just look out for No. 1, it’s not hard to see what drove him there, after he and his fellow players had the rug pulled out from under them by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan earlier in the week with news of golf’s mega-merger. McIlroy, more than anyone, was the face of the fight against the Saudi-backed disruptors, believing he had the PGA Tour at his back. If he ever did, he doesn’t now after Monahan’s stunning about-face.
The Northern Irishman says he is now resigned to the fact that Saudi money pouring into the game of golf is inevitable. With details beginning to trickle out about the deal, including Saturday’sreport that legal fees and purses for elevated events could have seen the PGA Tour in tough spot going forward.Honestly, it feels like every week there’s something new,” McIlroy said. “So it’s like, just drama, part of a soap opera, unfortunately.
