Rory McIlroy Has 'Low' Confidence in PGA Tour-LIV Merger: 'It's Concerning'

Rory McIlroy's optimism about a merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf is beginning to wane.

The four-time major champion pointed toward Jimmy Dunne's resignation from the tour's policy as a step backward, calling it "a huge loss for the PGA Tour."

"It's really, really disappointing, and you know, I think the tour is in a worse place because of it," he said, per ESPN's Mark Schlabach. "We'll see. We'll see where it goes from here, and we'll see what happens. But you know, I would say my confidence level on something getting done before last week was, you know, as low as it had been.
