Rory McIlroy has voiced strong support for the DP World Tour while criticizing LIV Golf, stating that the Saudi-backed league has "turned professional golf into an arms race." The Northern Irish star's comments come amid ongoing tensions between the established tours and the breakaway circuit.
McIlroy, a four-time major champion, has been one of the most vocal critics of LIV Golf since its inception. His latest remarks underscore the deep divide in professional golf, with players and tours grappling with the financial disruption caused by LIV's massive signing bonuses and guaranteed prize money.
The DP World Tour, formerly known as the European Tour, has maintained its traditional structure while navigating the challenges posed by LIV Golf's recruitment of top players. McIlroy's endorsement reinforces his commitment to the established tour system.
