Rory McIlroy says he is “glad [he] was wrong” about earlier comments suggesting Saudi investment behind LIV Golf would not change. The remarks come as McIlroy reflects on his public stance toward the LIV Golf–PGA Tour dispute. Multiple outlets report that McIlroy previously said it was unlikely Saudi Arabia would walk away from LIV, but he now indicates that scenario is closer than he expected. The reports also connect the comments to McIlroy’s recent form, noting that he is coming off winning his second consecutive Masters in April.
Across the coverage, McIlroy clarifies that he recognizes the investment environment can shift and that he had thought “it was always a possibility” the Saudi funding could dry up. Outlet summaries describe the tone as a response to earlier predictions and a correction of his own views, with the comments framed as a reaction to developments indicating less financial backing for LIV Golf than he anticipated. The articles present McIlroy’s statements as his personal assessment of the situation rather than providing new contractual or official documentation from the parties involved.
