Rory McIlroy remains an active member of the European Tour.
Reports from The Independent and Daily Express indicate that McIlroy did meet the deadline to maintain his membership.
The news comes after McIlroy publicly mentioned last November at the DP World Tour Championship that he may opt to forfeit his status in 2019.
“Right now, that is all sort of up in the air, but if it were to be that I don’t fulfill my membership next year, it’s not a Ryder Cup year, so it’s not the end of the world,” he said at the time.
