Rory McIlroy he says PGA Tours and the DP World Tour should talk to LIV Golffunded by Saudi Arabia, as the growing tension between the circuits “divides the game”.
Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson they were among the few top players to join the profitable series, which led to suspensions and fines on tours in the United States and Europe.
McIlroy, a four-time major winner, has been one of the most outspoken critics of breakaways on the circuit, but said now is the time to find a common ground.
“That should happen,” McIlroy told BBC Sport when asked if the peace talks should take place. “Hopefully there is no such mess. Everyone has to give up and change and try to be better. The road is not good. We divide our sport rather than unite it. “
McIlroy featured the increased prize money offered on the Ladies European Tour thanks to the sponsorship of Saudi state-owned energy giant Aramco, which is also a global partner of Formula One.
“There’s a lot of talk about where the money is coming from, Saudi Arabia and everything else. They sponsor a lot of other things. They’re all in the sport,” he said. “I understand people’s reservations about things, but at the same time, If these people are serious about investing billions of dollars in golf, I think the latter is a good thing. It has to be done the right way, ”he said.
