Don't join LIV Golf‘ - Tom McKibbin honed his game at the same Northern Ireland club as McIlroy but is set to turn his back on the PGA Tour

Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin consulted the world No. 3, who advised him to accept the PGA Tour card but the 22-year-old appears to be going to the rival circuit.

Rory McIlroy said he advised good friend and fellow countryman Tom McKibbin against bolting for LIV Golf because he didn’t believe the sacrifice, at this stage of his career, was worth it.
