Overview
- Speaking after Friday's four-under 67 at the Truist Championship, Rory McIlroy said letting LIV golfers return could strengthen the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, though he questioned whether those players want to come back.
- McIlroy repeated his criticism of LIV, arguing the league's costs look unsustainable given Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund plans to stop funding it, which he said "says something."
- LIV says it has begun a "strategic evolution" with a new independent board to seek fresh investors following the Public Investment Fund's decision to end its backing.
- PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp said the tour will consider any move that makes it stronger, pointing to Brooks Koepka's recent return under updated rules that included financial penalties.
- Player plans are splitting, with Bryson DeChambeau saying he would focus on his YouTube channel if LIV fails and Jon Rahm securing DP World Tour starts through an agreement to avoid sanctions.
