1 clever grip move is helping Rory McIlroy ‘hit whatever shot I want’

Despite persistent rumors of an angel investor backing LIV Golf for 2027, the league's rapid decline continues unabated. Problems such as unpaid vendors, disgruntled employees, and speculation about Jon Rahm's future surfaced until the season-ending championship was ultimately canceled. LIV Golf, as most fans have come to recognize it, is now effectively defunct.

The news spread swiftly through the professional golfing world, with six-time major champion Rory McIlroy delivering a significant blow to the organization. When questioned about the value that LIV players bring to the PGA Tour, McIlroy remarked, "I mean, have they brought value to LIV?" The organization likely took this personally, as evidenced by the comments of Bryson DeChambeau, a star player featured in the latest event in Indianapolis.

DeChambeau appeared in an interview during the round, expressing the league's importance to fans, golfers, and everyone involved. He shared memories of enthusiastic crowds from various locations, concluding that he hopes spectators can see the golfers' value within the game. This could be interpreted as a subtle rebuttal to McIlroy's remarks.

As for DeChambeau's performance at the Indianapolis tournament, which began on August 19 and runs through August 23, he shot a 5-under 65 in his opening round, securing the top spot with a lead of 12 players heading into Friday. Indianapolis is slated to be the final event of the 2026 LIV Golf season.
