Rory McIlroy has welcomed a reset in professional golf after describing the breakaway LIV Golf series as a "false economy." The Northern Irish star, who has consistently spoken out against the rival circuit, said the sport needs to move forward following the disruption caused by the Saudi-backed league.
McIlroy's comments came on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, as the golf world continues to navigate the fallout from the rival tour's emergence. He emphasized that the game's long-term health depends on unity and a return to traditional structures.
