“Rory and Bryson, who seemingly get more and more bad blood by the day,” said CBS, golf anchor Joe Musso, referencing the strained relationship between McIlroy and DeChambeau after the Masters drama. This tension was evident after DeChambeau didn’t mention McIlroy when discussing players performing well recently. At the LIV Golf Korea, DeChambeau left McIlroy’s name out when mentioning other top players, instead highlighting Scottie Scheffler’s great run, Joaquin Niemann’s strong performance, and Jon Rahm’s recent play. With McIlroy’s latest comments adding more fuel to the fire, the plot thickens.
Speaking on the latest presser at the PGA Championship, McIlroy talked about his dynamic with Bryson DeChambeau during the Masters. “I don’t know what he was expecting,” McIlroy said. “We’re trying to win the Masters. I’m not going to try to be his best mate out there. Look, everyone approaches the game different ways. Yeah, like I was focused on myself and what I needed to do. That’s really all that it was. It wasn’t anything against him or against — it’s just I felt that’s what I needed to do to try to get the best out of myself that day.”
