Rory McIlroy is remaining skeptical of any potential merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The Northern Irishman has been a consistent critic of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, and he believes that a merger would compromise the PGA Tour’s integrity.
“I don’t think it’s great,” McIlroy said. “I think it’s dangerous and I think it’s a slippery slope. I think if we go down that road, it could be very damaging to the game of golf.”
McIlroy’s comments add to the growing chorus of opposition to a merger between the two tours. Many top players, including Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa, have also expressed reservations about such a deal.
In a recent interview, the rising golf sensation Viktor Hovland shared his game-changing tip for mastering lag putting: distance control. “It’s all about knowing how far you’re going to hit the ball,” Hovland emphasized. He advocates for dedicated practice on the green, encouraging golfers to tackle long putts from various distances. This targeted strategy sharpens distance control, empowering players to accurately judge the force required to place the ball close to the hole. By honing this skill, golfers can bid farewell to those pesky three-putts and significantly enhance their overall putting prowess
