The DOJ and 'different interests from the players' side' are holding up negotiations, McIlroy said, adding that there is still optimism in the process.
Rory McIlroy said the U.S. Department of Justice is among the sticking points in why a deal to bring unity back to men’s professional golf continues to languish.
“Department of Justice. Maybe different interests from the players' side,” McIlroy said Wednesday at Wentworth, where he asked about the situation in advance of the DP World Tour’s flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship. “I think there's different opinions amongst the players about what should happen, and I think when you have a members-run organization, it complicates things a little bit, especially when should of those players are having to make decisions on the business side of things. So those are the two. I think the tours want it to happen. The investors certainly want it to happen because they can see the benefit for themselves.
