Rory McIlroy says he is no longer opposed to LIV Golf players returning to the PGA Tour, but he frames the issue as a matter of whether those players want to come back. McIlroy says the likelihood of a return may depend on how LIV’s financial situation develops in the coming months. His comments follow uncertainty around the circuit’s future after Saudi Arabia’s withdrawal of support was reported by some outlets.
The reports also note that McIlroy’s position is pragmatic: he indicates that the situation may be driven by business considerations rather than personal opposition. In addition, a separate storyline in coverage around this period includes claims about contact between the PGA Tour and LIV players—specifically mentioning Bryson DeChambeau—though he denies that such talks took place.
Overall, McIlroy’s stance centers on openness to rejoining by LIV players if the conditions are right, while emphasizing that the decision ultimately rests with the players and on LIV’s ability to sustain itself financially.
