McIlroy also aimed a few arrows at Norman and his leadership team.
“I knew the way these guys have operated and it’s all been smoke and mirrors and they’ve created rumors and spread rumors and tried to play one guy off another and said one thing to one manager and said a different thing to another manager and just sort of created this chaos and confusion around that group, and everyone’s questioning everyone else’s motives so they’re just kind of playing everyone off one another. I think it’s nice now that we all can sit down and say, look, we’re all on the same page here,” he said.
In addition to blasting Norman, McIlroy saved some choice words for Phil Mickelson, who was quoted by Alan Shipnuck in a story on the Fire Pit Collective as being in cahoots with the Saudis in order to leverage as much as possible and overhaul the Tour’s structure.
“I don’t want to kick someone while he’s down obviously, but I thought they were naive, selfish, egotistical, ignorant,” McIlroy said. “It was just very surprising and disappointing, sad. I’m sure he’s sitting at home sort of rethinking his position and where he goes from here.”
