Rory McIlroy expressed that Donald Trump's potential return to the White House may facilitate progress in golf's negotiations with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. McIlroy noted, 'Given today's news... I think that clears the way a little bit. So we'll see.' He highlighted how Trump's close ties with Saudi Arabia and the ongoing investigations by the US Department of Justice could impact the timeline for finalizing agreements.
Reflecting on the complexities of the situation, McIlroy commented, 'It's probably a little less complicated than it actually is.' He acknowledged Trump's influence, stating, 'He's got great relationships with Saudi Arabia and golf.' Furthermore, he noted the importance of potential involvement from figures like Elon Musk, saying, 'We might be able to do something if we can get Musk involved, too.'
The PGA Tour and LIV Golf have been embroiled in a long-standing conflict, but McIlroy suggested that a resolution might be on the horizon, contingent upon upcoming political developments. He stated, 'If the DOJ becomes more amenable to a formal agreement... it would be a huge moment.' This points to the significance of external political circumstances in shaping the future of professional golf.
