McIlroy back on speaking terms with Garcia after LIV Golf fall-out

Rory McIlroy is back on speaking terms with Sergio Garcia after they fell out over his move to LIV Golf, although the Scottish Open-winner admits they are ‘not all the way there’ yet

• Rory McIlroy won the Scottish Open in style at the Renaissance Club on Sunday
• The world number three is now back on speaking terms with Sergio Garcia
• He previously fell out with the Spaniard after his decision to join LIV Golf 

Rory McIlroy has confirmed that he and Sergio Garcia are back on speaking terms after falling out following the latter’s move to LIV Golf.

McIlroy has been the most vocal opponent of the Saudi-funded breakaway and said during the Genesis Scottish Open: ‘If LIV Golf was the last place to play golf on earth I would retire.’

However, he and Garcia rekindled their previously close friendship at the US Open last month, with the Spaniard saying during the LIV event at Valderrama that he had ‘gained a friend back’ following the proposed peace deal between golf’s rival factions.

Asked about the situation following his dramatic victory at the Renaissance Club, McIlroy said: ‘We’ve talked, which is a first step.

‘There’s things that we both think we probably could have done differently, and there’s a lot that’s went into it.

‘You know, it’s good that we’re at least talking again. I wouldn’t say we are all the way there but it’s a good first step.’
