It’s always refreshing when someone you respect agrees with you, or is it the other way around? When the number one ranked golfer says exactly what you are thinking, it’s nice to know you aren’t completely alone. The current No. 1 golfer in the world, Rory McIlroy has taken a leadership role in the world of professional golf with a sensible suggestion to solve the unsustainable and stressful situation that exists between the PGA Tour and LIV. “There’s a few things that I would like to see on the LIV side that needs to happen,” McIlroy said. “I think Greg [Norman] needs to go. I think he needs to just exit stage left. He’s made his mark, but I think now is the right time to sort of say, ‘Look, you’ve got this thing off the ground, but PGA Tour-LIV Controversy Needs An Adult in the Room no one is going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences.’” For those who may have been spending the past few months perfecting their pickleball serve, or training 16 hours a day for a WWE comeback, LIV Golf is a competitor to the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, the former European Tour. It is a disruptor to the otherwise usually staid week to week tournaments run by the established tours. Again, in case you have not been following the controversy, LIV Golf gets its money from the Public Investment Fund which is the sovereign wealth fund of the Saudi Arabian royal family with Hall of Fame member Greg Norman as their front man.
