As LIV continues to gain momentum and poach some of the game’s biggest names, Rory McIlroy called on golf’s leading tours to at least have a conversation with officials from the rival league.
In an interview earlier this week at the JP McManus Pro-Am, McIlroy seemed to soften his hard-line stance and called for collaboration.
When asked by BBC Sports NI whether the PGA and DP World tours should have “peace talks” with LIV, McIlroy said: “I think so. I think that needs to happen.”
That marks a stark departure for McIlroy, who, as one of the four player directors on the PGA Tour Policy Board, has naturally been one of the leading spokesmen for the Tour.
