Johnson Wagner has gained notoriety and fame in the past year by recreating golf shots on air, but on Thursday he took a different kind of shot at one of the game’s biggest stars.

During a Golf Channel segment, the three-time PGA Tour winner turned analyst rebuked Rory McIlroy for his recent comments regarding the tour and LIV Golf. During his press conference ahead of this week’s Genesis Invitational, McIlroy discussed making more money on the PGA Tour since LIV Golf’s inception and suggested players upset about possibly reuniting with those who left for the Saudi-backed league to “get over it.”

As our Joel Beall wrote on Wednesday, McIlroy’s views on this subject have, well, evolved. But he’s entitled to his opinion—and so is Wagner, who was not happy with McIlroy’s position on the matter.

“The fact that he’s saying that we’ve all benefited, he’s just seeing things from a finite perspective, from his perspective,” Wagner said. “You know who hasn’t benefited since all these things have gone on? The sponsors, who pay all the bills. TV is down, everything is down yet they are being asked to pay more money. So, good for you, I’m glad you’re making more money than you were in ’19, which was a ton of money. Also, he’s telling everyone to get over it. Rory has said a lot of things over the past couple of seasons that have rubbed a lot of players the wrong way. Now, he wants everyone to get over it, he’s pushing for a small world tour. He’s trying to get his way in every way. I’m a huge fan of Rory, but he’s angering me right now.”

Watch Wagner’s comments below:

The PGA Tour and the Saudi PIF fund, which bankrolls LIV, continue to negotiate a potential deal. McIlroy resigned from the PGA Tour Policy Board in November of 2023, but he remains part of the three-person transaction subcommittee with Tiger Woods and Adam Scott. Scott and PGA Tour Jay Monahan met with President Donald Trump earlier this week in an effort to unite the two tours.
