Rory McIlroy has brushed aside reports he is considering a move to LIV Golf, and insists he is committed to playing on the PGA Tour
.
The world No 2 has been a vocal critic of the Saudi-backed series but City AM this week reported he is considering a move to LIV worth $850m that would also give him a 2% equity in the tour.speculation that world No 6 Viktor Hovland will be the next prominent player to join LIV. Hovland is one of a number of players who are unhappy with the handling of a framework agreement reached last summer between existing tours and the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
“Again, I’ve made it clear over the last two years that I don’t think is something for me,” McIlroy said on Tuesday. “It doesn’t mean that I judge people that have went and played over there. I think one of the things that I’ve realised over the past two years is people can make their own decisions for whatever they think is best for themselves. Who are we to judge them for that?and it’s never been any different … I will play on the PGA Tour for the rest of my career.
