McIlroy Questions LIV Golf‘s Future Despite Potential DeChambeau Deal
Rory McIlroy doesn’t think a massive contract extension for Bryson DeChambeau will significantly improve LIV Golf’s standing. Even if the Saudi-backed league spends heavily to re-sign the two-time U.S. Open winner, McIlroy believes it won’t address essential issues.
“It’s not as if they made any huge signings this year, is it?” McIlroy told The Telegraph of London on Thursday. “They haven’t signed anyone who moves the needle, and I don’t think they will. They could re-sign Bryson for hundreds of millions of dollars, but even if they do, it doesn’t change their product, does it? They’ll just be paying for the exact same thing.”
McIlroy, currently competing in the Dubai Invitational on the DP World Tour, welcomed the return of Brooks Koepka to the PGA Tour. koepka, a five-time major champion, will donate $5 million to charity and forfeit player equity shares for the next five years as part of his return.
