Happier times for the pair last June[/caption]
"I feel like Rory making those types of comments is insulting,” he said.
“Let’s be honest, I’ve [played the DP World Tour] more consistently than some of the Europeans on the PGA Tour.”
“These other guys sitting there and talking saying you can’t play two tours, that’s hypocritical as ever, these guys are playing the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour."
It's clear that some of the hostility still remains.
The pair also played out a famously fiery singles match at the 2016 Ryder Cup, with Reed coming out on top on the final hole. That was McIlroy's first time ever to lose a singles match at the Ryder Cup, and the point helped the US to a 17-11 win over the Europeans in that competition.
Reed hasn't hit those highs in recent times however, and has since dropped to 90th in the World rankings. Both players will tee it up in the Dubai Desert Classic this week.Explore more on these topics:
