Tensions continue to rise between PGA TOUR and LIV Golf members after Patrick Reed reportedly “flicked” a golf tee at Rory McIlroy after the World No. 1 ignored him at the Dubai Desert Classic. Reed attempted to say hello and was snubbed.
“I didn't feel the need to acknowledge him,” McIlroy said when asked about it at a press conference for the event. “I was subpoenaed by his lawyer on Christmas Eve…If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't expect a hello or a handshake.”
Rory McIlroy on Patrick Reed/TeeGate: “I didn't see a tee coming my direction at all, but apparently that's what happened. And if roles were reversed and I'd have of thrown that tee at him, I'd be expecting him a lawsuit.”https://t.co/IN6q73bhXX
