Rory McIlroy made his feelings clear about the option of playing on the Champions Tour, and many of his colleagues did not like his approach.

Rory McIlroy has stirred controversy with golfing great Bob Estes after making disparaging remarks about the Champions Tour ahead of this week's The Players Championship. The Holywood golfer voiced that to play in the Champions Tour – for players aged 50 and above – would be a move he'd find "terribly wrong".

Rory McIlroy has been known to take some sharp U-turns on his opinions over the last few years, particularly as it relates to the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. He was willing to state another position Wednesday as strong as any.
