While negotiations to unify the pro game drag on, Rory McIlroy said the players were 'taking this into our own hands' in creating an exhibition between rivals.

The article from Sports Illustrated discusses Rory McIlroy's evolving stance on LIV Golf, a rival golf league backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Initially, McIlroy was a vocal critic of LIV Golf, but he has recently softened his position, suggesting that the sport should aim for unity rather than division. He proposed that LIV Golf could potentially coexist with the PGA Tour, perhaps in a format similar to the IPL in cricket, where it operates as a separate entity but within the broader ecosystem of the sport. McIlroy emphasized the importance of bringing the best players together for the fans, hinting at a possible future where LIV Golf players could return to the PGA Tour without repercussions. This change in perspective comes amidst ongoing tensions and legal battles between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, with McIlroy now advocating for an olive branch to be extended to foster a more inclusive golfing community.
