Kisner roasts Rory over “dog sh%t” comment

Kevin Kisner has slammed Rory McIlroy’s previous comments about growing the game suggesting it’s all about the money.

Speaking on the @ForePlayPod, the former Ryder Cup player turned commentator did not hold back.

Kisner calls out Rory McIlroy for his previous comments about wanting to grow the game globally, insisting Rory’s in India this week for the appearance fee he allegedly received.

“That is such a dog sh!t comment, but I guess for the right price, we could all say that comment (about growing the game). He doesn’t want to globally expand in India, he wants to get his $10 million bucks and go play in India.”

He continued: “… I know there’s a pile of guys that got paid for that event. How else would you get that event in India with eight billion people in the middle of the city? And Rory’s not even hitting a driver this week. You think he wants to go play a tournament where he can’t use his number one weapon? So give me a break.”

ForePlay host Riggs said: “The whole thing’s an appearance. It’s not he’s not like, you know what? I can’t wait to go play really far away. And while I’m there, uh, management team, could you book me like a public appearance where I can talk about live and all that? Because I would like there’s just no chance. So, so yeah, obviously they’re getting paid to be there and good for them. I wouldn’t say no to that, you know, for sure. I understand it.”

Not holding back, Riggs added: “But it is funny when it gets painted as like this altruistic move to grow the game in another part of the world. I laugh at that every time.”

This allowed Kisner to continue: “They always seem to say the right things while they’re over there. As part of your appearance fee, here’s your script for altruism, and you need to mention these four lines in whatever interview you do throughout the week. Which is totally fine, I’d do it too, and all of us on this podcast would.

“I just find it hilarious when you can pop up and play an event where Rory McIlroy can’t hit his driver, and all those guys show up, and nobody’s like, ‘alright, this is stupid’, whenever they can go play the sickest course in the world, and none of them show up. It’s just very odd to me.”

McIlroy is in the mix after two rounds at the weather-hit event.
