Rory McIlroy's reaction to meeting LIV Golf chief in public for first time speaks volumes
Playing just behind the two golf leaders is McIlroy, who is teamed up with his father Gerry, as well as tournament boss Johann Rupert and Louis Oosthuizen. Prior to the first tee shots on Thursday morning, McIlroy was spotted chatting with Al-Rumayyan as the pair had big smiles on their faces, before sharing an embrace.
