"Rory McIlroy Faces Mixed Reactions Over LIV Golf Stance Shift"
Rory McIlroy expressed regret over his initial judgment of golfers joining LIV Golf, acknowledging that not everyone is in the same position as he is or as Tiger Woods. His comments on the English Stick to Football podcast suggested a more accepting stance towards LIV Golf, even comparing it to cricket's IPL. Brooks Koepka's wife, Jena Sims, humorously reacted to McIlroy's remarks by posting "New Year, New Rory" on Instagram, while Koepka himself shared a meme. McIlroy's change of heart is notable given his previous role as a vocal supporter of the PGA Tour and critic of LIV Golf.
