The Public Investment Fund, which finances LIV Golf, and the PGA Tour are in the midst of merger talks, which raises doubts about the future of golf. According to McIlroy, he hopes to see a worldwide tour that includes more stops in South Africa, Australia, and Japan. The runner-up in the global rankings believes golf has “untapped commercial property” to investigate. While he kicks up his 2024 season on Thursday at the first Dubai Invitational, McIlroy made the following statement to Golf Digest, external: “Going forward, if everything is on the table, venues have to be a big part of the consideration.” “We must ensure that the courses are appropriate for the players that will be participating. “A global tour is my ideal situation, but corporate America must stay in the background.”
