Jena Sims responds to ‘new’ Rory McIlroy after explosive start to 2024
Rory McIlroy’s softer LIV Golf stance hasn’t gone unnoticed by certain members of the rebel league’s family.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Jena Sims who is married to LIV Golf star and five-time major champion Brooks Koepka reacted to recent comments made by McIlroy, in which the Northern Irishman said: “I was maybe a little judgmental of the guys that went to LIV Golf at the start.”
“New Year, New Rory,” Sims wrote alongside a post from X that highlighted McIlroy’s remarks.

Jena Sims/InstagramOnce regarded as one of the most outspoken critics of LIV Golf, McIlroy offered a different take this week when discussing his peers leaping the Saudi-backed league, which now includes reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm.
I think at this point, I was maybe a little judgmental of the guys that went to LIV Golf at the start, and I think it was a bit of a mistake on my part because I now realize not everyone is in my position or in Tigers Woods position, McIlroy said on the Stic to Football podcast.
“We all turn professional to make a living playing the sports that we do, and I think thats what I realized over the last two years. I cant judge people for making that decision.

In June, the PGA Tour announced it would be merging into one company with LIV Golf, ending a civil war within the sport.
Although both parties set a Dec. 31, 2023, deadline for the talks, The Tour informed players negotiations with the Public Investment Fund of Saudia Arabia would continue in 2024.
