The World No.1 has no sympathy for the likes of Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari who have opted to skip the PGA Tour restart
Rory McIlroy - "If You Care About Your Career, You Should Be Here"
The PGA Tour moves into week two of the resumption of its 2020 season and most of the world's best players are competing in super-strong fields for huge ranking points.
The Official World Golf Ranking is now back up-and-running for PGA and Korn Ferry Tour players and there have been criticisms by some European Tour players.
"Look, personally, if I were in their shoes and I was asked to come over to the states and shelter in place or quarantine for two weeks before these tournaments, I would have done that because I mean, if you really care about your career and care about moving forward, you should be here, I think.
"Last week was 70 World Ranking points for the winner, this week 74.
"And I get there's different variables and families and stuff involved, but we all have the means to rent a very nice house in a gated community in Florida and you know, it's not a hardship for two weeks to come over and quarantine. I mean, it's fine.
"My caddie Harry came over and did it. He stayed in our guest house. The two weeks flew by.
"Yeah, I honestly don't understand the guys complaining because there is a solution to it. You can come over here and do what needs to be done."
McIlroy was then asked about one of his Ryder Cup teammates, presumably Tommy Fleetwood, who hasn't made the trip due to the quarantine measures in both the US and UK, which would mean he would spend even more time away from his children.
"I do appreciate that, but it's not as if -- you know, most kids, it's sort of the end of the school year.
"I know a few kids that went back to school. Again, you can bring your family with you. We all have the means to do that.
"It might seem a little harsh, but I don't get that mindset, especially if you care about your career and you want to advance."
