Rory McIlroy has said he hopes professional golf is due for a reset after what he described as the 'false economy' of the LIV Golf series, according to a report published on November 4, 2026. The Northern Irish four-time major champion has been a prominent critic of the Saudi-backed league, arguing that its financial model is unsustainable for the sport's long-term health.
