Rory McIlroy's biggest weapon is in his hotel room this week
For the second straight year, this week's DP World Tour host site, Delhi Golf Club, will take Rory McIlroy's biggest weapon out of his hands. The post Rory McIlroy’s biggest weapon is in his hotel room this week appeared first on Golf .
PGA Tour star Rory McIlroy has stated he would vote to welcome players from LIV Golf back onto the traditional tours, believing the breakaway circuit has lost its threat to established tours. Despite securing potential $300 million financing, LIV Golf's future remains uncertain, with two-time major winner Jon Rahm having opted out of the tour.
McIlroy, a vocal critic of LIV since its inception in 2022, believes the circuit could have done better with its vast resources, stating it had the potential to make more strategic use of the money. He also noted that LIV could have benefited from partnering with governing bodies. McIlroy affirmed his support for LIV players returning to traditional tours, emphasizing the idea that rising tides lift all boats, and the presence of these players would benefit the golf business.
As DP World Tour will bar LIV players from their 2027 season, McIlroy believes the circuit will struggle to survive and will likely not pose a threat to traditional golf.
