Rory McIlroy said the PGA Tour and DP World Tour should hold talks with the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series as the escalating tension between the circuits is "splitting the game."
Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson are among a number of top players who have joined the lucrative series, which brought suspensions and fines from the U.S.-based and European tours.
Four-time major winner McIlroy has been one of the most outspoken critics of the breakaway circuit but said now was the time to find common ground.
"That needs to happen," McIlroy told the BBC when asked whether peace talks should take place.
