Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose make a pact to avoid talking about the PGA and LIV merger
Daily Mail Justin Rose has revealed he andRory McIlroy agreed they would avoid speaking aboutthe PGA Tour and DP World Tour's LIV Golf merger as they teed off at the Canadian Open.
In a shock move, on Tuesday morning the PGA and European Tours signed an agreement with LIV Golf to combine their businesses into a new 'collectively owned entity'.
Rose and McIlroy - who decided against signing for LIV Golf when it was first established in June 2022 - said they would avoid discussing the merger to concentrate on the job at hand.
However, Rose did share his opinion on the merger after their round of golf - claiming theLIV players have more to be worried about than those who stayed faithful to the PGA Tour.
McIlroy revealed the details of their pact, saying:'Rosie and I said, 'All right, no chatting until lunch so that we can actually concentrate on what we're doing out there'.
'We started to get in a conversation walking down the first [hole] and we're like, 'No, let's stop this. Let's just focus on our golf and we'll say what we want to say when we get inside'.'
