""It's not as if they made any huge signings this year, is it?" McIlroy told The Telegraph of London on Thursday. "They haven't signed anyone who moves the needle, and I don't think they will. I mean, they could re-sign Bryson for hundreds of millions of dollars, but even if they do, it doesn't change their product, does it? They'll just be paying for the exact same thing.""
"The five-time major champion will make a $5 million donation to charity, at the PGA Tour's request, and will forfeit player equity shares for the next five years. "This is great as it gets Brooks back to where he belongs," McIlroy said. "He is one of the best players in the world and anything that makes the traditional tours stronger is a good thing in my book.""
LIV Golf has not signed players who significantly change its competitive appeal. Re-signing a major champion for hundreds of millions would not alter the league's product. Brooks Koepka will return to the PGA Tour, making a $5 million donation to charity and forfeiting player equity shares for five years. Past winners of majors or the Players Championship since 2022 are eligible to rejoin the PGA Tour under a Returning Member Program. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp set a Feb. 2 deadline for that window. Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith intend to remain at LIV, while DeChambeau's contract negotiations continue.
