Fox News Anchor Calls Rory McIlroy a Leprechaun

Rory McIlroy has become the face of golf over the past few years, but that doesn't mean everybody likes him.

One Fox News anchor, Kennedy Montgomery, made it quite clear on Monday's edition of Outnumbered that she was not a fan of McIlroy—adding that the Northern Ireland golfer is a "leprechaun."

Um, OK then.

To make things even more questionable, the comments happened during an update on McIlroy's recent ankle injury. Not exactly wishing him the best.

Montgomery addressed the matter on Tuesday's Outnumbered:

"

Yesterday at this time I used the word leprechaun to describe golfer Rory McIlroy. I love sports, I love golf, but I am not a fan of Rory’s. Mostly for the way he treated tennis great Caroline Wozniacki and discarded her like a piece of chewed gum when he broke her heart and broke off their engagement in a short phone conversation. That’s worse than breaking up on a Post-it. Now to be clear, neither Harris nor Jenna Lee used the term and I don’t want them to get the credit for it. I called Rory McIlroy a leprechaun and believe me I wanted to call him much worse. As you know, some of my best friends are leprechauns and they also have tremendous senses of humor. Thank you.
