The number one in the world, Rory McIlroysaid on Tuesday that the general director of LIV Golf, former #1 Greg Normanyou should get off right away, because golf circuits need an “adult in the room” to help break the deadlock in your misunderstanding.
LIV Golf has lured some of the best players on the American PGA Tour with huge sums of money, sparking a simmering dispute within the sport. Players competing in the Arab Super League are suspended from the PGA Tour.
LIV filed a lawsuit accusing the PGA Tour of violating antitrust law. The PGA Tour filed a countersuit.
The European DP World Tour’s attempts to ban the players were ‘stubborn’ and LIV players are still allowed to compete in their events pending a court hearing next year.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, McIlroy said “nothing is going to happen” while the lawsuits are pending.
“You’re limited in what you can do. I think from what’s going on with those two things, there’s some that I want to see on the LIV side that needs to happen,” Briton said.
“Greg has to go. He needs to exit stage left. He’s made his mark, but now’s the time to say, look, you’ve got this, but nobody’s going to speak unless there’s an old man in the room. .” room that I can try to fix things. If that happens, then fine. But right now we’re at an impasse because there can’t be any way. Hopefully something will happen, who knows,” explained Rory.
The Australian said in September that he was no longer ready to negotiate with the PGA Tour. And this week he confirmed that the 2023 series will debut in Australia for the first time next spring. The event will take place in Australia’s Adelaide province at The Grand Club, a course redesigned by Greg Norman.
“From the start of my father’s family trip to Australia via Port Lincoln, to my first professional win as a 21-year-old from Queensland at the 1976 West Lakes Classic, it was only fitting that @livgolfinv be brought to @grangegolfclub from South Australia in 2023,” Norman wrote in an Instagram post. “There’s huge potential for Australia to play a bigger role in golf, and we at #LIVGolf couldn’t be more excited to showcase Adelaide for the debut year of our league,” he added.
Critics say LIV Golf, funded by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, amounts to a “sport facelift” by a country trying to improve its reputation in the face of criticism of its human rights record. .
