A wild and mostly disgusting week in men’s professional golf had a perfect ending Sunday afternoon with Rory McIlroy getting his 21st win on the PGA Tour in a thrilling finish at the Canadian Open in front of thousands of fans who were having the time of their lives.
McIlroy then celebrated his victory by taking a shot at Greg Norman, which was just so awesome to see happen.
Norman, of course, is the CEO and commissioner of the LIV Golf league and is leading the charge against the PGA Tour by handing out tons of dirty money to PGA Tour players who apparently have no problem taking money from the Saudi government.
McIlroy hasn’t shied away from speaking out against that league, which made his win Sunday all the more special.
During his post-round interview on the 18th green, McIlroy said: “This is a day that I’ll remember for a long, long time. 21st PGA Tour win, one more than someone else. That gave me a little bit of extra incentive today and I’m happy to get it done.”
That former player he was talking about was Greg Norman, who had 20 wins on the PGA Tour.
This is so good:
