Rory McIlroy has sharply criticized LIV Golf, stating the Saudi-backed league attempted to "destroy the European Tour," while expressing full support for the DP World Tour's willingness to welcome LIV players back onto the European circuit. The four-time major champion said he is aligned with DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings on the issue of LIV Golf members returning to play in Europe.
McIlroy's comments underscore the ongoing tension between the established tours and the breakaway league, even as discussions about reconciliation and player movement continue. The Northern Irishman has been a vocal defender of the traditional tour structure throughout the golf schism.
