Rory McIlroy says professional golf is on the verge of a welcome reset as LIV Golf's future looks increasingly shaky following the reported withdrawal of Saudi financial support, according to Yahoo Sports.
McIlroy, who has long been one of the most prominent voices resisting the Saudi-backed breakaway tour, described LIV's spending spree as a 'false economy' that disrupted the sport without building anything sustainable. His comments come as the league faces real uncertainty over how it continues operating without the backing that funded its massive player contracts.
The remarks add to growing speculation about what comes next for a sport that has been split for several years between the traditional PGA Tour and LIV Golf. McIlroy's tone suggests optimism that golf's fractured landscape could begin healing as the financial picture around LIV shifts.
