Neither Rory McIlroy nor Jon Rahm are putting too much weight behind Phil Mickelson's comments from Saudi Arabia.

RIDGELAND, SOUTH CAROLINA - OCTOBER 19: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland plays a shot during a pro am prior to the start of the CJ Cup at Congaree Golf Club on October 19, 2022 in Ridgeland, South Carolina. Neither Rory McIlroy nor Jon Rahm are putting too much weight behind Phil Mickelson’s comments from Saudi Arabia.

"The guys that have went over to LIV, they're the ones that have made the disruption, they're the ones that have sort of put the golf world in flux right now," McIlroy said Wednesday."I guess for them to be talking the way they are, it's bold and it's, you know, I think there's a ton of propaganda being used and all sorts of stuff.

Though LIV Golf has lured several recent major championship winners and 12 players currently ranked in the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings, there are still plenty of issues with the startup circuit. Golfers still can’t earn OWGR points, so they are continuously falling in the rankings. There is no television deal yet, either, despite reports that LIV was actually going to pay Fox Sports to start airing tournament.

If things go well for McIlroy, he can retake the top spot in the world rankings for the first time since 2020.
