Rory McIIroy and Tiger Woods share shocking moment at PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods had a notably frosty interaction at the PGA Championship, fueling rumors of a rift between the two golf stars. During the tournament, which began on Thursday, McIlroy and Woods avoided speaking to each other on the course, bypassing the usual pleasantries exchanged between friends.

Speculation about their strained relationship began circulating after McIlroy resigned from his position on the PGA Board a few months ago. Despite his loyalty to the tour being rewarded financially, McIlroy’s softened stance towards LIV Golf is believed to have caused friction with Woods, a staunch opponent of the rival league.

McIlroy’s desire to rejoin the PGA Board might have further strained their relationship. Reports suggest that when McIlroy was denied re-entry to the board, some believed Woods played a role in the decision.

The pair, who have been friends and business partners for years, seem to be experiencing tension due to McIlroy’s evolving views on the future of golf. While McIlroy has become an influential figure both on and off the course, the PGA Board appears to place greater value on Woods’s leadership and popularity.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the rumors of discord will be substantiated. For now, the apparent lack of camaraderie between McIlroy and Woods at the PGA Championship certainly gives reason for speculation about the state of their friendship. Only time will reveal the true extent of any potential issues between these two prominent golfers.
