Golf canal analyst Johnson Wagner did not hide his frustration with a few comments that Rory Mcilroy made during his press conference before the tournament on the Genesis Invitational last week.
It appears that Johnson’s anger also found his way to McIlroy.
On Wednesday, SiriusXM PGA Tour Radioshow by Lucas Glover appeared on Wednesday and said Wagner that he had heard of McIlroy about Wagner’s critical comments, but they still have to meet each other personally.
“He e -mailed me on Thursday evening and we traded a few correspondences, but I have not heard from him since the first,” Wagner said in the show. “I think his agent contacted someone higher on Golf Canal. And like, you know, the thing I said at the end of my tirade was that he makes me angry and that is the only thing I regret. The rest are complete. Because in this position I think I have to get the emotions out of it a little better. And I’m going to try to do that in the future. “
McIlroy met the media at the Genesis who came out of his victory over the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Under the topics he dealt with, the evolution of his own feelings when it comes to Liv Golf and the PGA Tour vs. Liv -Vete who is still without a solution.
“Whether you stayed on the PGA tour or if you left, we all benefited from this,” said McIlroy at Torrey Pines. “I have been there a lot that said this a lot: we are playing this week for a prize fund of $ 20 million. That would never have happened if Liv had not come. I think everyone just has to get over it, and we all have to say, ok, this is the starting point, and we are going ahead. We don’t look behind us. We don’t look at the past. Whatever happened, it happened and it has been a shame, but reunification, how we all come together again and move forward, that’s the best for everyone.
“If people are buttocks or their feelings hurt because boys have gone or whatever, such as, what does it matter? Let’s continue together and let’s try to get this thing going again and doing what’s best for the game. “
Did Wagner focused on Golf Canal that night.
“The fact that he says we have all benefited, he just sees things from a finite perspective, from his perspective,” said Wagner. “Do you know who has not benefited since all these things are going on? The sponsors, who pay all bills. TV is down, everything is downstairs, but they are asked to pay more money. So, good for you, I am happy that you earn more money than in ’19, what a lot of money was. He also tells everyone to get over it. In recent seasons, Rory has said many things that many players have rubbed the wrong way. Now he wants everyone to come over it, he insists on a small world tour. He tries to get his way in all respects. I am a big fan of Rory, but he makes me angry now. “
