McIlroy questions LIV stars’ value

Rory McIlroy, the six-time Major champion, has publicly questioned the value that top golfers like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau have brought to LIV Golf. McIlroy argued that these players had not contributed significantly to the LIV tour. When asked if these stars should be allowed to return to the PGA Tour, McIlroy dismissed their chances, stating that they would not be welcomed back easily.

McIlroy expressed skepticism about any potential "2.0" version of LIV Golf, stating that he doesn't find it right that former LIV stars lose their jobs.
