Rory McIlroy has not joined LIV Golf, despite rumors circulating on social media that he was being offered an $850 million deal. McIlroy’s agent denied the rumors, and McIlroy himself confirmed that he had not been approached by LIV and had no intention of leaving the PGA Tour. In an interview with the Golf Channel, McIlroy expressed his loyalty to the PGA Tour and said that he believed the future of his career lay there.
While LIV Golf has recruited big-name players like Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau, the tour has struggled to attract fans. TV ratings are low and attendance at LIV events is sparse. McIlroy has always been a target for LIV, as his signing could potentially boost the tour’s foreign-born roster and add another top-10 player to their lineup. However, McIlroy has made it clear that he is committed to staying with the PGA Tour. The ongoing rivalry between established tours and upstarts like LIV highlights the fractured nature of the golfing world.
