McIlroy believes that while the fracture caused by LIV was detrimental, both tours have ultimately benefited major championships.

He has urged PGA Tour members to move past their grievances and focus on collaboration for the future of the sport.

The reunification poses challenges, especially for players who turned down lucrative LIV offers due to the PGA Tour's stance against LIV participants.

McIlroy highlighted that both PGA Tour players and LIV golfers have benefited financially, pointing to increased prize funds like the $20 million purse at the Genesis Invitational.

Looking ahead, McIlroy is optimistic about the potential for more tournaments featuring top players together by 2026.

He noted the difficulty of navigating the current landscape and emphasized that player directors are working hard for the benefit of all members.

As discussions about the future of golf continue, McIlroy hopes for a resolution that refocuses attention on the game itself.

Both McIlroy and PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan believe that Donald Trump supports the merging of the tours under the PGA Tour umbrella, despite his history of hosting LIV events.

Despite differing opinions, McIlroy and fellow golfer Wagner share a desire for the PGA Tour's success, highlighting the ongoing debate about the future of professional golf.

However, LIV Golf faces financial challenges, including reported operating losses of $394 million and a potential total investment from Saudi PIF reaching $5 billion by the end of 2025.

Rory McIlroy, who was initially critical of LIV Golf, now acknowledges that the separation between the PGA Tour and LIV is unsustainable.

Monahan has prioritized negotiations for reunification with LIV players, recognizing the complexity of the situation with multiple stakeholders involved.
