McIlroy questions value of LIV players to PGA

At his pre-tournament press conference ahead of the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Rory McIlroy expressed skepticism about the value LIV Golf players would bring to the PGA Tour if they returned, questioning whether they have even brought value to LIV itself. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler took the opposite view, saying he welcomes competition against the best players in the world. The comments come as LIV Golf faces uncertainty over its future, with star players such as Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Cameron Smith potentially facing reduced purses and smaller contracts beyond the 2026 season.
