The PIF, which finances LIV Golf, and the PGA Tour are still in negotiations on a possible merger.
Patrick Cantlay, a PGA player-director, announced that PIF representatives will meet with him on Monday.
“It should’ve happened months ago, so I am glad it’s happening,” McIlroy said.
“Hopefully that advances conversations and gets us closer to a solution,” the 34-year-old Northern Irishman continued.
First to defend the Players title at Sawgrass is Scheffler.
Plans for a surprise merger with PIF were revealed by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour in June, but they were unable to come to an agreement.
Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy is “glad” about the PGA player-directors’ meeting with Saudi Arabia’s PIF.
A meeting between Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and PGA Tour players, according to Rory McIlroy, "gets us closer to a solution" to the division in the game.
