Rory McIlroy Makes Feelings Clear as PGA Tour Hands Massive Blow to LIV Golf With New Asian Tour Deal

Rory McIlroy initially compared the PGA Tour's proposed two-tier competitive model, set for implementation in 2028, to a 'glorified Korn Ferry Tour,' expressing skepticism about Brian Rolapp's plans. However, after conversations with Tour officials, McIlroy's view on the model changed. Separately, the PGA Tour dealt a significant blow to LIV Golf by announcing a new deal with the Asian Tour, further consolidating its competitive positioning ahead of 2028.
