Rory McIlroy has been one of the most vocal players in golf when it comes to the future of the sport after the disruption caused by LIV Golf’s arrival.
At the time in 2022, McIlroy slammed the LIV product and made it pretty clear from day one that he’d no interest in moving to them for any sum of money.
Since then, we’ve seen huge names in the sport like Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and more recently, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, move to the PIF-backed tour.
McIlroy has recently spoken of the stumbling blocks preventing a deal but in the main, it’s clear he’s open to some sort of deal being done.
And according to good friend Sergio Garcia, McIlroy’s stance represents a shift in mindset for the whole game.
Speaking to Golf Magic, Garcia was asked how he feels about Rory McIlroy effectively doing a U-turn with his opinion on LIV and the future of golf.
And according to Garcia, McIlroy’s stance shows that things have moved on a bit.
“Yeah, I think it’s great. I think at the end of the day it shows we’re all very emotional and we try to defend our positions and stuff like that, but at the end of the day it shows we all want to go in the same direction and make golf better.
