LIV Golf’s finest hour For most of its existence, LIV Golf has been an extremely expensive punch line: Many of the world’s best players competing for millions while almost no one watches, either in person or on screens.

I’ll play the PGA Tour the rest of my career,” Rory McIlroy said while reiterating a hope that players from his circuit and from LIV Golf can compete against each other more often.

In a Tuesday interview from the RBC Heritage on Hilton Head Island, Rory McIlroy addressed a rumor that said he could be heading to LIV Golf.

Earlier this year, the PGA Tour and Strategic Sports Group made a deal worth up to $3 billion. Reports suggest that part of that money will be given to PGA Tour players as equity payments for their loyalty.

After a report said that McIlroy was “close” to bolting the PGA Tour for a whopping $850 million LIV Golf contract, the 34-year-old Northern Irishman denied that Tuesday at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island, S.C., and said he’ll be with the PGA Tour for the rest of his career.

When Rory McIlroy teamed up with Shane Lowry to win the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, it marked his 25th victory on the PGA Tour. It was McIlroy's first win in 2024 and first since the 2023 Scottish Open in 2023.
