Rory Mcllroy refuses to reconcile with Tiger Woods, gets angry and give reasons when asked about his plans to become the second Tiger Woods (video)

Rory Mcllroy has been told by Padraig Harrington to stay away from the saga between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, in order to protect his efforts on the course.

Mcllroy resigned from the PGA Tour’s policy board last November, but had shown interest in making a return as a player director in recent weeks.

His comeback application was subsequently rejected by the current crop of player directors, and Harrington believes this was a blessing in disguise for the four-time major winner.

“It takes a lot of time, dedication and sacrifice to play this game at this level,” the Irishman told Golf Channel

“The best thing that could have happened is Rory [Mcllroy] not getting back on that board. He was being soft by going back to it.

It’s not the distraction he needs, he needs to be out there playing golf.”

And Harrington may well have a point too, after legendary coach Butch Harmon recently echoed the former Ryder Cup captain’s sentiments about the importance of dedication.

Harmon worked with both Tiger Woods and Greg Norman, two players who spent longer than anybody as the No. 1 golfer in the world. The renowned instructor recently opened up on the reasoning behind the longevity and dominance of both Woods, highlighting their ability to work harder than others.
