Rory less confident PGA Tour, LIV near merger

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.
