Rory McIlroy Steps Down from PGA Tour Policy Board
In a surprising move this week, Rory McIlroy officially resigned from his role on the PGA Tour’s policy board, ending a pivotal chapter in his influence over the sport’s future direction.
McIlroy, who has been a strong advocate for unity between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf camps, cited personal burnout and shifting priorities as reasons for his departure. "I’ve tried to give my best to the game both on and off the course," he stated. "But it’s time to refocus on competing."
His exit comes just as the PGA Tour negotiates a potential merger with Saudi-backed investors, where McIlroy had previously been a leading voice for reconciliation and reform. Players and fans alike are now questioning what this means for the Tour's future direction.
With McIlroy out of the decision-making circle, will we see faster unification—or deeper divides?
