The world No 3 turned down a vast offer to sign for the PIF’s rival tour, LIV Golf, and has been a staunch critic of the competition. But he stressed that it is not LIV but the PIF which is merging with the PGA Tour to form a new company, and while the struggling LIV is likely to continue in the short term, its days may be numbered.
“I still hate LIV! I hate LIV,” he said. “I hope it goes away and I fully expect that it does. Going forward there may be a team element and you’re going to see whoever else play in some sort of team golf, but I don’t think it will look anything like LIV has looked and I think that’s a good thing.”
McIlroy added: “There’s mixed emotions. I don’t understand all the intricacies. But at least it means the litigation goes away. We can start to work toward some sort of way of unifying the game at the elite level.”
