Rory McIlroy has revealed the ground rules he made clear to Netflix producers before signing up to the golf documentary Full Swing
The four-time major champion had initially planned to watch the first season and then take it from there. But after the emergence of the LIV Golf League, the Ulsterman, 33, was persuaded by the shows exec producer Chad Mumm that he needed to be involved. That was after a year like no other in professional golf in which McIlroy took centre stage as the chief critic of LIV Golf. McIlroy duked it out with Greg Norman. The PGA Tour panicked and started throwing more money at their stars.
Mumm recently told Mirror Sport that producers met with McIlroy several times and were told he wanted to focus on playing golf. Then finally, McIlroy was in.
“We told him we needed his voice, there was no guarantee we could do this again and if he waits, people won’t hear from him until 2024 at the earliest and now is the time,” Mumm told the publication.
