Rory McIlroy may have softened his stance on LIV Golf of late – to the point that rumors circulated that he was going to pull a Jon Rahm – but Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee shows no signs of backing down. In this candid interview, which lasted 2-plus hours and was conducted on the “Live From” set at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Chamblee doubled down on why of all the figures involved in pro golf’s split, he’s most disappointed in Phil Mickelson.
The invite for a live debate? It’s still out there – but Chamblee isn’t holding out much hope.
