Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed have spoken out after the golf tee throw heard ’round the world on Tuesday.
“Trying to have a nice time with my family and someone shows up on your doorstep and delivers that, you’re not going to take that well,” McIlroy said.
“I’m living in reality, I don’t know where he’s living. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t expect a hello or a handshake.” McIlroy later addressed the tee again, saying: “I didn’t see a tee coming my direction at all, but apparently that’s what happened. And if roles were reversed and I’d have thrown that tee at him, I’d be expecting a lawsuit.”“I walked over there and wished [McIlroy’s caddie] Harry [Diamond] Happy New Year and then Rory, because it is the first time I have seen them,” Reed told reporters.
“It’s unfortunate because we’ve always had a good relationship. But it is one of those things, if you’re going to act like an immature little child then you might as well be treated like one.”McIlroy, 33, and Reed, 32, were once known for their intense Ryder Cup battles. Now, the feud has taken a decidedly different turn.
The Dubai Desert Classic begins Wednesday night in the U.S. and features a number of top golfers from around the world, including McIlroy, Reed, Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrell Hatton, and more. LIV Golfers are currently allowed to participate in DP World Tour events, though they have been suspended by the PGA Tour.
