Rory Mcllroy sets Talor Gooch straight with loaded Masters reminder after LIV Golf star's shock 'asterisk' claim
Straight-shooting Rory McIlroy delivered a measured response to Talor Gooch’s claim that the Northern Irishman should have an asterisk next to his name if he breaks his Masters duck this year.
LIV Golf star Gooch caused a storm in the world of golf when he claimed McIlroy's name should have an "asterisk" next to it if he goes on to end his Masters drought this year due to a weakened field following the likes of Jon Rahm's move to LIV Golf.
Speaking after after his nine hole pro-am at the Cognizant Classic, McIroy said: “The Masters is an invitational and they will invite whoever they think warrants an invite.
I think to be fair to Taylor if you read the entire question and the answer it’s not like he just came out with that. I feel like whoever did the interview sort of led him down that path to say that so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt there a little bit.
