Rory McIlroy will not be returning to the PGA Tour policy board any time soon after some “pretty complicated and pretty messy” conversations, the Northern Irishman said Wednesday.
The world No. 2 resigned from his position as a player director after two years in November citing “personal and professional commitments,” but admitted last month that he would be willing to return to the board if he was wanted. Yet following talks about replacing Webb Simpson, the American will now see out the rest of his term – which runs into 2025 – after McIlroy ruled out a return, citing that some on the board were “uncomfortable” with him coming back.
Participation of LIV Golf players – unable to earn ranking points from events on the circuit – at the major championships continues to be a recurring point of contention, with seven players from the Saudi-backed league receiving special invites to play the PGA Championship next week.
