Rory McIlroy has blasted LIV Golf rebels for their 'having your cake and eating it' attitude that has seen them file legal action against the DP World Tour.
Ian Poulter is among three golfers to defect to the new Saudi-backed breakaway tour who have successfully appealed their suspensions from the Scottish Open this week.
The decision was handed down by Sport Resolutions (UK) and upheld the appeal made by Poulter, Adrian Otaegui and Justin Harding against their ban from the event and two further co-sanctioned tournaments with the PGA Tour, and their individual fines of £100,000.
The trio were part of a group of 16 that had threatened legal action for the sanctions imposed against them, a move that led DP World Tour chief Keith Pelley to release an excoriating statement slamming the defectors.
And McIlroy admits that the sentiments echoed on high have made their way into the lockerroom too at the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor this week.
'I think at this stage, if you go over and play on a different tour, then go over and play on a different tour,' he said in an interview with BBC Sport.
