Rory McIlroy has once again revealed that he wants to see unification in men's professional golf between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, and hopes his upcoming match alongside Scottie Scheffler against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau can help do that.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced plans of a framework agreement with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia , which would finally bring an end to the dispute between the two rivals. Ahead of his return to this week's Irish Open, McIlroy was quizzed on the match-up, and further delved into the idea of seeing the sport coming back together. "I think for the players it is a way to capitalise everything that is going on," he told ITV News at Royal County Down.
He initially called on the so-called 'merger' to take place last November, telling CNBC at the time: "I feel like we’ve got a fractured competitive landscape right now and I would prefer if everyone sort of got back into the same boat. I think that’s the best thing for golf."
