Rory McIlroy looked "tired" while hitting a four-over-par opening round at The Players Championship, according to former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley.
McIlroy has been one of the leading voices in the PGA Tour 's battle against LIV Golf, with the American circuit having undergone a bit of an overhaul, which has seen the introduction of no-cut events next year with limited-field sizes between 70 and 78 players.
McIlroy has been a staunch opponent of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series but admitted the rebel circuit had exposed "weaknesses" in the traditional PGA Tour - resulting in the changes.
