The PGA Tour and Saudi-backed LIV Golf announced a merger Tuesday in a stunning end to their bitter rivalry on the fairways. GolfChannel.com's Rex Hoggard and Andrew Ross Sorkin join Morning Joe to discuss.
Bryson DeChambeau’s clutch putt from just inside 4 feet early last Sunday secured his second career U.S. Open win — and punctuated one of the more stunning collapses in the championship’s recent history. DeChambeau’s win at Pinehurst was Rory McIlroy’s loss. And what a loss it was for one of the most talented yet underachieving golfers on the planet. McIlroy won his fourth major in 2014. At the time, many thought he was the heir apparent to a physically faltering Tiger Woods.
Earlier this year, McIlroy seemed to have a change of heart, tamping down his harsh criticism while trying to bring LIV and the PGA Tour together. Or maybe it’s a question of an expanding field. Twenty-five different men have won a major since McIlroy’s last successful conquest on golf’s biggest stages. The simplest answer for McIlroy’s U.S. Open performance is that he just choked under the weight of the moment. And that may not be far from the truth.
