The semi-retired agent mentioned: “It’s typical Rory. Rory is not shy in having an opinion and not slow to apologise if he’s got that wrong.
“When he turned pro in 2008 we were sat on a bench at Gleneagles and I had Rory telling me that the Ryder Cup meant nothing at all to him. ‘It was just an exhibition match. I’m here to win majors.’ There’s nobody bigger into the Ryder Cup now than Rory McIlroy.”
Chandler, 70, even went on to say McIlroy’s softening stance may lead him to make a shock transfer to the Saudi Public Investment Fund-backed circuit. He added: “If you had been being cynical, you may say he’s going to signal for about £750million in a month’s time with LIV as a result of he’s paving the best way that LIV’s okay now, whereas it wasn’t.

“Who knows? He doesn’t need £750m but it’s odd what he’s done and I’m sure it’s a possibility. If he does it or not, I don’t know, but if Jon Rahm can do it, most guys can do it.
“I think number one, there’s a 10% possibility he’s favouring his way to sign for LIV, but he realises that the whole bickering and fighting is no good for golf. The man in the street must find it appalling the sums of money being spoken.”
It comes after McIlroy resigned from the PGA Tour’s board three months in the past, having largely been the spokesperson in favour of the US circuit within the face of its Saudi rivals. Meanwhile, world No.3 Rahm turned LIV’s largest star after signing a profitable contract this month.
