Rory McIlroy has called for LIV chief Greg Norman to resign. The Northern Irishman has been a staunch defender of the PGA Tour amid the emergence of the controversial Saudi-backed circuit earlier this year.
LIV has lured some of golf’s biggest players to the circuit with their lucrative contracts and ability to play more like a free agent. The PGA responded by banning players who defected to LIV from playing in the Ryder Cup and along with Tiger Woods, McIlroy set up TMRW Sports that will launch a new innovative golf series.
It will take place on a virtual course inside an arena with a live audience. It will include a 15-match regular season starting in January 2024, and will feature six teams of PGA Tour players. Ahead of the DP World Tour Championship, McIlroy has called for the controversial Norman, 67, to resign. “I think Greg [Norman] needs to go, he needs to exit stage left,” the four-time major winner said.
