Rory McIlroy expressed concerns about LIV Golf's future being in a precarious spot following the Saudi Arabia-based Public Investment Fund's (PIF) announcement to end funding for the tour by the end of the 2026 season. McIlroy admitted he was wrong to previously believe the PGA Tour would embrace the PIF's investment, acknowledging the geopolitical complexities surrounding the partnership. "I was saying to Ricky [McCormick], even before Mexico 'have you guys heard any of this stuff?'" he said, referencing insider conversations about the looming financial shift.
