Rory McIlroy has expressed hope that professional golf is heading for a reset following what he described as the "false economy" of the LIV Golf series.
The Northern Irish star made the remarks ahead of the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport, where he was photographed during a preview day.
McIlroy's comments reflect ongoing tensions in the sport following the emergence of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit, which has disrupted traditional tours.
