  "account": "Rory McIlroy believes that Bryson DeChambeau's participation on the European Tour would attract significant attention to the circuit following the demise of LIV Golf. DeChambeau, a two-time major champion, currently has a chance to secure a card on the European Tour due to his 2024 US Open victory, but this privilege will expire in 2027. McIlroy, speaking ahead of the Tour Championship in Dubai, stated that DeChambeau's presence would be advantageous for tournaments, highlighting that a name like his brings \"eyeballs,\" which are beneficial for events. DeChambeau has not yet committed to the European Tour, but several LIV stars, including Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, have confirmed their intentions to play on the European Tour next year. McIlroy is aiming to win his fourth European Tour Championship title and match Colin Montgomerie's record of eight Order of Merit crowns on the circuit.",
