The paper reported that “two separate sources have told City AM that they believe a deal is close. It is claimed that LIV Golf chiefs have offered world No2 McIlroy an eye-watering $850m to join, plus around two per cent equity in the competition.”
The speculation began when McIlroy’s former manager Chubby Chandler suggested that the world number two’s softening stance on harsh sanctions for LIV Golf stars looking to return to the PGA Tour should the merger deal with PIF prosper.
“He doesn’t need £750m, but it’s odd what he’s done and I’m sure it’s a possibility. If he does it or not, I don’t know, but if Rahm can do it, most guys can do it.”
McIlroy appeared to be speaking with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek when asked about Chandler’s comments a few days later.
