McIlroy turned down Saudi Arabia event offer

Rory McIlroy has ruled out competing in next month’s European Tour event in Saudi Arabia, despite being offered a large appearance fee.
World number one Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson are among big names who will be in action at the Saudi International in late January.
McIlroy did not deny reports that he had been offered a $2.5m (£1.9m) fee.
