McIlroy says LIV golfers may face a difficult path back to the PGA Tour
Rory McIlroy said players who joined LIV Golf could find it hard to return to the PGA Tour, while Scottie Scheffler took a different view.
Rory McIlroy said on Wednesday that golfers who left for LIV Golf may not find an easy route back to the PGA Tour, as debate grows over whether they would be welcomed again. His comments came amid renewed discussion about the future of LIV and any possible reunions with the main U.S. circuit.
According to BBC Sport and ESPN, McIlroy questioned what returning LIV players would add to the PGA Tour. Scheffler, by contrast, offered a more open assessment of their possible value.
The remarks add to a long-running split in men’s golf that has followed the launch of LIV and the departures of several leading players. The issue remains unresolved as both tours continue to operate separately.
