Rory McIlroy says he wants to "get back to being a golfer again" after admitting he has 'sacrificed' preparation time to lead the PGA Tour's fight against LIV Golf.
The Northern Ireland golfer missed the cut at The Players Championship on Saturday after struggling over 36 holes at TPC Sawgrass.
McIlroy had been tipped as a leading contender to win the Sawgrass showpiece after his second place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill last weekend.
