Rory McIlroy showed his true feelings towards Brooks Koepka's fifth major win in the new season of Full Swing. 

The Northern Irishman boldly admits he was wishing Koepka wasn't triumphant at the Masters last year, while discussing the ongoing LIV Golf fallout in the opening episode of the series, which was released on March 6. 

Koepka, who defected to LIV in 2022, topped the leader board heading in to the final round at Augusta National last April but McIlroy was left relieved when it wasn't the American slipping into the green jacket. 

'Brooks and I are tied on four majors apiece,' McIlroy says to camera in a behind-the-scenes interview. 'So you don't really want someone to go by you.

'If it wasn't me that was going to win the Masters, I'd probably prefer it to be a PGA Tour player, honestly.'
