Former PGA Tour star Rocco Mediate believes LIV Golf should confront its reigning champion Talor Gooch after his bitter comments about Rory McIlroy and The Masters after being snubbed for an invite
LIV Golf has been urged to reprimand reigning champion Talor Gooch after his sour Rory McIlroy comments in the wake of being snubbed for The Masters.
The American won LIV’s 2023 season title after winning three times on the breakaway visit, but he will not be at Augusta National final month after plummeting down the Official World Golf Positioning (OWGR) since turning his back on the PGA Visit.
With no major championship wins to his title and no OWGR focuses on offer in LIV occasions, his only trust of gaining a put at The Masters was through a uncommon welcome, saved for players Augusta National accepts are meriting of playing the competition but have not qualified.
LIV star Joaquin Niemann was among three players to get solicitations, nearby Thorbjorn Olesen and Ryo Hisatsune. Gooch, 32, reacted sharply in an meet with Australian Golf Digest, saying:
“If Rory McIlroy goes and completes his [career] Fantastic Slam without a few of the finest players within the world, there’s fair planning to be an bullet. It’s fair the reality.”
Gooch– whose crest world positioning was 31 some time recently coming to a unused moo of 449 this week – has never finished higher in a major than tied for 14th and he was broadly derided for his comments, with the lion’s share of LIV’s best players within the field for The Aces.
Six-time PGA Visit victor Rocco Intervene reacted to Gooch’s comments in merciless energy, recommending LIV Golf’s bosses ought to go up against the Oklahoma local approximately his comments.
“To say something around Rory, are you joking me? Are you completely joking me? It’s humiliating. LIV ought to be going, ‘Dude, you wish to closed up, fair closed up, we’ll handle this’,” Intervene told SiriusXM.
“So on the off chance that Rory wins The Aces there ought to be an reference bullet, I ponder why that’s ? Everyone that has a place within The Aces, all the past champions that are on LIV are playing. Is it since he’s not in? What has he ever done? What has he ever done?
“The truth that he was the finest player on LIV final year is an shame. Reality. So, he’s won one competition on the PGA Visit.
“Does that cruel he can number that at whatever point the hell that was? No one cares. So if you don’t mind, he fair has to be quiet, go approximately his commerce, take all his cash. Fair halt it.”
