Rory Mcilroy says PGA-Liv unification only works in 1 way

Rory mcilroy is above ego, agendas and hurt feelings. For the big winner four times, it is the past time for the professional men’s golf to come back together and end the fracture that is slowly drowning the sport.

Formerly an open Liv Golf critic, Mcilroy no longer cares to criticize Breakaway’s connection, the former Liv Greg Norman director or disappointed with those who left PGA Tour for a beautiful salary.

This should be all the water under the bridge.

As Mcilroy sees, Livi’s arrival has benefited everyone financially, whether they stayed or left, and keeping the deception that has caused some of the delays in reuniting the game should end.

“Whether you stayed in PGA Tour or left, we all took advantage of this,” Mcilroy said Wednesday after Pro-AM at the Invitational Generations in Torrey Pines. “I’ve been in the record saying this amount: we’re playing for a $ 20 million price this week. That would never have happened if Liv didn’t come around. I think everyone just gotta overcome and we all have to say, okay, this is the starting point, and we move forward. But reunion, as we all come back together and move forward, this is the best thing for everyone.

“If people are hurt in the butt or hurt their feelings because the boys went or whatever, who cares? Let’s move forward together, and let’s try to do this again and do what is best for the game. “

While some PGA Tour players have been resistant to allowing LIV defenders to return to PGA Tour without paying some kind of price, Mcilroy hopes those players will start to see the most view. After the strategic sports group invested $ 1.5 billion in newly established enterprises PGA Tour last January, players were given capital grants in PGA Tour coming with an eight -year period. These capital grants were created to encourage loyalty to stay in PGA Tour.

As a party interested in business and someone who cares about Golf’s running, Mcilroy realizes that what is best for both is for the best players to play on a tour. If the PGA Tour has all the best stars and not just a few, the value of the business, and therefore their individual shares, increases.

So if a player were to leave for Liv and still have status at PGA Tour, let them play, Mcilroy said.

“As for us, they all got capital on this tour,” Mcilroy said. “Having Bryson Dechambeau back and playing on this tour is good.”

Mcilroy does not think that returning players should be automatically given capital in PGA enterprises, but they can earn it over time.

Asked about his visible face in Liv, Mcilroy mentioned the amount of money he made in pre-liv in 2019 compared to what he does now and realizes that the difference could not have happened if the Breakaway League It ruined this sport.

This does not mean that Mcilroy agrees with what happened. He still believes he was bad for the game, and while he personally benefited, he does not think that PGA Tour or Liv could go on.

“I didn’t feel that way first because of the fracture,” Mcilroy said. “It was not good for the game. It was not good for the overall game. It was not good for any tournaments, I didn’t think. I think we both like this has been great for the main championships. We all come together in the main championships and that has been a really good thing, but for both shifts, it’s unstable. “

The unification of the game comes with many questions that Mcilroy has no answer.

Will Liv still exist? What will the game look like? Will all Livi players love? How will their schedule look like?

This is everything over Mcilroy’s “salary grade”.

Now against the backdrop of Golf’s civil conflict, Mcilroy is ready for completion. For conversations to stop concentrating on net capital, unions, monopolies, punishment and lever, and that golf returns as a focus.

“I think we’re closer to getting a resolution,” Mcilroy said. “Hopefully, we can all move forward.”
