Lee Westwood: Rory's Probably Had A "Rethink" About Questioning European Stars Sitting Out PGA Tour's Return

Lee Westwood believes Rory McIlroy has “probably had a rethink” after his declaration last week that European Tour golfers have no right to complain about avoiding America during the COVID-19 outbreak. McIlroy mocked players for not willingly quarantining for 14 days with their families in Florida. (You know, because nothing says fun like Florida in July with 4000 people a day testing positive for a coronavirus, versus, oh, Europe in summer.)

James Corrigan reports for the Telegraph on Westwood—one of the players essentially called out by McIlroy given the choice to stay in England for the PGA Tour’s restart—having had a rethink, which is probably code for a apology text was sent and dutifully accepted.

That’s great news since it seemed like an unusually insensitive stance McIlroy took toward his European Ryder Cup peers.
