Rory McIlroy has said he would vote to allow players from LIV Golf to return to the PGA Tour, marking his support for a possible reintegration of golfers from the breakaway circuit.
McIlroy also said he no longer considers LIV Golf to be a threat to the traditional professional tours. His comments represent a change in emphasis around the continuing divide between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed series, which has attracted several prominent players away from established golf competitions.
The PGA Tour and LIV Golf have operated as separate circuits, creating a major split in the professional game. McIlroy’s position indicates that he would support LIV players being given a route back to the PGA Tour if a vote on their return were held.
No further details about the proposed process or the circumstances surrounding McIlroy’s comments were provided. His view adds to the wider debate over the future relationship between LIV Golf and the traditional tours.
