The LIV Golf fiasco has hit a new low.
During practice for the Dubai Desert Classic, Rory McIlroy rejected a handshake from Patrick Reed, so Reed threw a tee at Rors.
This came after McIlroy was served a subpoena on Christmas Eve related to the LIV Golf fight.

After an initial report from Spain that there was a "tense episode" between Reed and McIlroy in Dubai, a video leaked showing the incident.

McIlroy defended the snub by noting that Reed's lawyer had served him a subpoena on Christmas Eve.

McIlroy joked that if the tee-throwing roles were reversed, Reed would have gotten litigious.
