Rory McIlroy opened up about playing on the PGA Tour while talking about LIV Golf. The Northern Irish golfer has been an avid supporter of the PGA Tour since the inception of the Saudi league. He won his fifth major earlier this year and had an impressive season playing on the Tour.
This week, speaking to the CNBC CEO Council Forum, McIlroy opened up about LIV Golf’s spending and also about the PGA Tour.
"LIV's spent $5 or $6bn, and they're going to have to spend another five or six just to maintain where they are," he said (via Irish Independent). "So if I'm looking at the world of golf, I am way more comfortable being on the PGA Tour side than on their side. But, you know, who knows what will happen?"
