Rory McIlroy recently emphasized the need for top men's golfers to set aside their differences to negotiate a new agreement following the PGA-LIV split. After discussing the situation with President Trump, McIlroy noted that Trump, a supporter of the PGA, could leverage his connections to help push a deal forward. The golfer mentioned that several players transitioned to LIV Golf, which caused tension with the PGA, and highlighted the potential for a unified tour that would benefit the sport.
