Irish professional golfer Rory McIlroy has always been vocal about his opinion on LIV Golf. Since the event's inception, his has been extremely critical of it. While his comments have been well documented, a recent report revealed that Mcllroy shed light on U.S. President Donald Trump's opinion on the Saudi-backed event.
On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Jack Milko from SB Nation revealed that he was engaged in a conversation with McIlroy. Further in his tweet, Milko mentioned that McIlroy shared that he played golf with the U.S. President before the latter's inauguration. The experienced golfer also said that Trump shared his opinion on LIV Golf during this meeting.
The tweet from Jack Milko read:
"Chatting with Rory McIlroy now. He shared with the media that he played golf with President Trump before the inauguration. Said they had a good conversation. Also revealed that the President is not a fan of LIV Golf’s format, which came as a surprise to Rory."

Keeping aside President Trump's opinion on LIV Golf, it seems like he will play a key role in negotiations between the PGA Tour and PIF, which backs LIV Golf. After taking over as President, PGA Tour's Jay Monohan asked Trump to actively involve himself in the negotiations, and LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil was delighted by the same.
