What do you think of Rorys comments and can this be achieved? Is the situation as bad as he is saying?
What he is saying may be ideal, however, coming from him, it seems like he wants to be relevant once more. He is starting to show his real personality, somebody who opens his mouth first without thinking. I am guessing, The Shark and the strategists of LIV had that plan even before. They want a collaborative relationship with major tours. It’s better if Rory shuts up for a while.
Plus team golf is going nowhere
I watch the DP world challenge I watch the PGA but I won't watch live golf ever
You need to get off of the Rory band wagon. That's what I think.
I just want the best players in the world to be able to play together especially at the Majors. The powers that be need to set their egos and emotions aside and do some rational thinking about this.
Maybe you should watch big boy pants golf. EVERYBODY HATES RORY. Nobody gives a shot about his opinion. He's scrambling because he wants the money now. Eff him
Alex, please stop giving so much credence to what Rory thinks. I understand that he is one of the best players in the world but that is due to his ability to swing a club and hit a ball. It doesn't make him a genius with regard to how golf should be structured worldwide. His view only conveys his own agenda and may not reflect the views of every other player on tours around the world. Try and get some feedback from lower profile players on tour instead of the high profile golfing politicians who are only looking out for themselves.

Sorry but Rory has become such a twat,next week he will change his tune again. Used to really like Rory but now wouldn’t listen to any of his rubbish anymore
Global and relegation to stay in for somebody who hates LIV he sure does like a lot of their ideas
Sounds exciting! LIV needs to go away or needs to be changed to bring that tour in line with the rest. Too bad those responsible for pushing LIV made it adversarial toward the other tours.
Fanboy – you love anything Rory-boy says.
Does Majores a litle bit like Champions Leauge. If it going to work the points from ggolf champions leauge shouldn't aplay to given toure player is from.
Well the PGA should first accept that they are not the only tour out there. I mean we already had something like what Rory is talking about: the WGC. We had 4 tournaments made up of the top players of each Tour playing 4 (was 5 at a stage) high profile events with OWGR points only second to majors, and a big prize fund too. It was heavily skewed towards PGA tour in terms of the field as it was mostly by OWGR points that you got in with a hand full of spots for merit leaders of other smaller tours. A 70 man field with no cut. All sounds great! Guess what the PGA scrapped that too.
They should just bring back the WGC and expand it to a few more events. Tweak the entry criteria to be a bit more inclusive to other tours (ie have a minimum nr of spots for DPWT, increase the Sunshine and Asian and Aussie tours to have a minimum except only the top ranked player. Make it a league so that the events are played with the same group of players and have an overall ranking system for all events.
There is no point in creating a league of only the top ranked players. Because those players are mostly already qualified to play anywhere in the world. You need to keep the lesser tours (aka everyone other than the PGA) interested to keep playing there if playing well on those tours can get you into this global league.
Rory hasn't won a major since 2014. I think he has damaged PGA golf in the past couple years. It amazes me that some people still put him on such a pedestal.
PGA still wants to be in control of the top tour and they still want all other tours to be feeder tours (including LIV). It's never gonna happen, but PGA won't accept anything else.
I don't understand why there's a deal at all. All I can see is that PIF thinks PGA is going bankrupt and they think they can a deal for cheap. But PGA continues to think they have leverage. I think PIF should just wait a couple years. This deal makes zero sense right now and the ones would benefit the most is the PGA and they're the ones stalling.
Stay tuned in. He will probably change his mind again in a few weeks.
Rory blindly defended the PGA tour and is parochial USA centric stance and now all of a sudden he wants a World tour and pretends he always wanted that…..Pelley is an idiot as he could have gone with PIF through the ties with DP World and form a Rest of the World golf tour that could have really made PGA tour squirm…
So Rory is now saying what Greg Norman has been saying for years. Rory actually said amongst other things "i hate Liv and wish it would go away ". Liv is going nowhere bud
LIV Golf does not need Rory and his cohorts now or ever . Also they don’t need Rory to tell them how to run their business period
My thoughts are, that if you introduce super leagues then the crowds at the lower levels may decrease s a result and therefore, the needed revenue for the events with it!
I agree about why pay so much attention to what Rory says, after all, he has proved himself to be a hollow man!
Rory is golf , golf is Rory nothing else matters 🤷♂️ to rory
I love his golf but I ignore what he says. he's really vocal at the moment and to be fair, I think people are getting a bit bored of how outspoken he's become.
Alex….. come on Buddy can you not see what Rory is about ? Yet again his idea spews nothing but GREED. He is also YET to have an idea that is actually his own so what does that tell you ? He's a follower , a Puppet for those scheming in the Board room and trying to come up with New way's of filling their own pockets.
Read your caption Alex "Rory Mcilrory WANTS new golf landscape" this screams what my first couple of lines mention does it not ?
Based on Rory's idea what would become of the Majors ? they would become just another Tournament , the only difference between them and Rory's league being 136 players at the starting block on thursday morning instead of 80. Not at all good for the game now is it.
Rory talks the talk while walking like a 2 am Drunk 🙂
Take Care My Friend
I actually watched it despite being so over Rory videos. Ok so he continues to slowly get it while pretending what he is starting to get are his ideas…..what’s new?
Screw Rory
Why not LIV Golf?
That won't happen…McIlroy and those heads of European golf are smelling the coffee. The PGA Tour is pretty boring these days…money is calling the shots, or haven't you noticed?
Nobody cares about your hero Rory. The guy is as smart as a river rock. Did the guy even finish high school? What happened to his hard stance on the PGA Tour? The wee little Irish man is a damn joke.
Isn't Rory just echoing Normans thoughts from the mid 90s ? Norman ultimately created WGC events that were meant to be played in Australia, China, South Africa, Brazil, Japan, etc. Sadly the PGA Tour hijacked them – surprise, surprise. Norman was furious and with the $ backing of PIF was able to create it albeit on a smaller scale. Rory came out and demanded Norman be sacked before the PGA Tour and LIV meet about it. Now he is starting to see exactly what Norman was talking about. Eff Rory and his hypocrisy.
Golf is long overdue a proper World Champion!
It doesn’t matter what Rory wants. He should fill his free time pounding sand instead of opening his mouth.
I was hoping rory was so loud and had diarrhea of the mouth, was that jay and tiger put him up to it. I guess not, he should say no comment and she focus on winning another major period.
You want feedback? – Stop being a mouthpiece for Rory.
your stream of Rory and mine are far apart. Rory just trying to clean up … he too late,,, its ova Liv is King of Pro Golf!!
Rory is no rocket scientist so I wouldn’t give a thumb on what he thinks nor do I really care.
I thought Rory was frustrated with all the noise and needed a break to get back to the business of playing golf? He just choked last week on the final few holes and now he's flapping his jaw again. He just can't stay out of the nonsense, chill bro.
There is over 4000 players on world ranking system + few others,why do we have to get Mcllroy jammed down our neck with views that he revamping from shark,not his ideas,as someone said he can swing golf club but no idea on running a million $ business. General players from all areas should have chance to say there point view.The world golf tour was mutted in 92 by Norman and shot down by PGA because it hurt there business.
In what official capacity, if any, is he commenting now he is not on the Policy Board?
I think Rory is missing the point its not just about what he or the players want its also about the fans. If golf is to reach out to more people and places its also needs to become more appealing you have used the comparisons to cricket which has 3 successful formats T20, 50 over and 5 day Test Match. There is a desire for a faster format of golf and the answers is very simple co-ordinate the different tours so events don’t clash and let the players move freely between tours. Get rid of Mr Ego Mananhan the PGA is no longer top dog
Hate that hand jive when he misses a put never his stroke ..
Bro, it’s not all about Rory. It’s about the game of golf not Rory.
Pga can get f , liv golf is better league
I think we’ve herd enough from Rory. He’s been a disruptive force on many fronts and I’d rather hear from Norman and Phil. The PGA took a beautiful product but unfortunately had no vision for the future of golf. Looks like LIV will help the sport of golf move into the modern era.
Rory said one thing but deep inside he has a different opinion
Should keep his gob shut.
