Robert MacIntyre admits he doesn’t like some PGA Tour players as he explains LIV Golf decision

MacIntyre was asked by Golf Digest to share the real reason why he chose to reject a move to LIV Golf when he was offered the chance to join them.

“Didn’t want to compromise my dream,“ he replied.

*“*My dream was to play Ryder Cups. I’ve done that. I’ve only got one dream left, and that’s winning a major. Once I do that, I could happily walk away the next day.

*“*The money we’re playing for on the PGA Tour is still extraordinary. I still have a great relationship with the DP World Tour. Tyrrell is someone I could call right now and ask anything.

*“*At the end of the day, the good people are still good people whether they went to LIV or stayed. There are guys on the PGA Tour I don’t particularly like, either. I’m not on any boards; I’m not getting involved.

“I’m just going to get the ball in the hole in as few shots as I can every week and go back to Scotland.“

Robert MacIntyre: How much money does a human need?

MacIntyre was asked what he makes of certain players’ decisions to join LIV Golf for the money.

*“*I voiced my opinion early on, that the money was obscene,” the 29-year-old said.

*“*How much does a human need? But the more I’ve sat back and thought, I understand why certain guys went.

“Some timed it beautifully. Some guys I still think made crazy decisions. To each his own.“

MacIntyre is someone who wants to win to create a legacy in the game.

He is certainly on the way to doing just that and it should surprise nobody if he chalks off one or two major championship wins over the course of the next few years.
