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

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.
