Key Specifications

  • Review Price: £43.99

Available on Xbox One (reviewed), PS4 This should have been a new beginning. It’s the first PGA Tour on a new generation of consoles, and also the first with a new cover star, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy. It’s a chance for EA to pull one of its oldest and best-loved franchises out of the doldrums it sunk into in the later Tiger Woods years, and to expand the horizons of one of gaming’s most conservative genres. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour could have been and should have been great.

Instead, it falls somewhere on the fringe of greatness, nearly on the green and within sight of the cup, but frustratingly short of target. It’s a alright-looking golf sim with finely-honed gameplay and a few smart surprises on the way, but it only feels like half the full package. PGA Tour does what it does very well, but the more you play, the more you notice what’s missing, and the more you wish it did just a little bit more.

Let’s talk about the stuff where Rory lands it on the fairway, not the scrub. The graphics have their weaknesses, including texture pop-up, some peculiar artefacts and the odd, weird shimmering effect, but this is still a reasonable leap forwards from the last Tiger Woods. The vegetation is lusher and more lifelike and the scenery more coherent and believable. Golfer animation is more fluid and convincing, with some great animations that take you through the whole gamut of emotions that the noble sport inspires, from joy and exhilaration through to frustration and raw misery.

Verdict Rory McIlroy PGA Tour plays a great game of golf and has noticeably better graphics than the series previous-gen outings. There’s not an awful lot wrong with the core game, and there are some nice surprises. The problem is that the lack of modes, courses, customisation options and players makes it feel only half-complete. This is a problem EA can fix with free DLC, but for now this feels like the foundation of a brilliant golf sim rather than the finished article.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour review

It's (probably not) in the game.

With Tiger Woods experiencing the kind of career downturn that would have Messrs Torres and Falcao nodding sympathetically, it's no wonder EA has opted to drop the fairway-dodging flop for its flagship golf series, replacing him with the more successful (and marketable) Rory McIlroy. Surely, then, this is the ideal opportunity for a fresh start, and a series seemingly content to coast along on past successes would be revitalised by its prodigiously talented star?

You could forgive yourself for getting a little excited after the hyperbolic introduction. "Limitless!" chirrups Rich Lerner, like a man triumphantly declaring his favourite Bradley Cooper film. "The ability to break free, to experience golf in ways you never thought possible." What could this mean? My mind raced. An infinite number of procedurally-generated courses? The ability to play anti-gravity space golf against a sentient blancmange using giraffes as clubs? Apparently not. It turns out that "taking your game to levels once only dreamed of" involves little more than pitch-and-putt on a course surrounded by reused Battlefield assets and a mode that might as well be called Rory McIlroy's Mario Golf.

And, it transpires, "limitless" isn't so much an exaggeration as a bald-faced lie. Because EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Turbo HD Remix has fewer courses, golfers, modes and features than its predecessor. Tiger's last outing had five women from the LPGA Tour; they've been unceremoniously dropped here, as has roughly half the roster of male golfers. There are 12 courses, when two years ago we had 20 (heck, it's two fewer than Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 managed). Gone are the detailed character customisation options for your career golfer, replaced instead by a handful of preset avatars, most of which look like they've been designed by someone who's never seen a human face, but once had one described to them over a Skype call from a noisy venue with particularly flaky wi-fi.

rory mcilroy pga tour ps4

In fact, the career mode as a whole is significantly undernourished. I qualified for the PGA Tour after placing second in my first round as an amateur, and then joylessly worked my way through a series of disconnected tournaments. There's no sense of pageantry surrounding the big competitions, and very little fanfare when you win a tournament: you get a dry text report with a trite quote or two from your golfer. Your stats will steadily rise, and occasionally you'll unlock some more branded gear, but otherwise there's little sense of progress - not least because there's no tangible record of your recent achievements, just a series of rudimentary stat tables. The Highlights tab, meanwhile, simply collects reports of completed rounds and sponsorship deals. In an age of "Xbox, record that" and Share buttons, perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that you can't watch or save replays of your best shots within the game, but it's disappointing not to have the option.

It's far from the only thing that's missing. There are no practice rounds in Career mode, no optional objectives to complete for XP boosts. In multiplayer - online or off - you can only select between Stroke Play and Match Play. There's no Best Ball, no Alternate Shot, no Four Ball, no Skins. No Skins! EA Tiburon has promised several free updates to the game that will add new courses and features, though I'm not sure that compensates for the absence of options that have been an integral part of the series for years. Even the Country Clubs from Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 have been removed.

This might be less of a problem if what remained was a noticeable improvement on previous entries. It isn't. The courses, rendered in the Frostbite engine, look good for the most part, but there are obvious performance issues throughout. It's never a good sign when a game has pop-in on the title screen and so it proves: foliage will often appear from nowhere, and there's a sporadic shimmering effect in certain areas. Presentational sloppiness is pervasive. Menus suffer from noticeable delays, sluggish transitions and weird little inconsistencies. Even the claim of no loading times isn't strictly true - though they're appreciably brief, interstitial shots of leaderboards, your golfer and close-ups of the next hole number stall you from teeing off.

rory mcilroy pga tour ps4

At least the commentary from Rich Lerner and Frank Nobilo offers some enlightening facts. I now know, for example, that Tom Watson once won the Open at Royal Troon, that Royal Troon was the site at which Tom Watson won the Open, and that one of the great Open champions at Royal Troon is Tom Watson - all from one 18-hole round. It's a pity they don't have more lines, as their commentary is fine and surprisingly naturalistic - there are even a couple of minor stumbles and grammatical flubs which sound like normal conversation rather than obviously scripted soundbites (though you'll still hear a few of those).

All of these problems are undoubtedly damaging, and all the more irritating for the fact that underneath it all it still plays a solid game of golf. The tutorial, or Prologue, is a nice bit of business which takes you through the three different swing types while allowing you to play key moments from the closing stages of a tightly-fought Open as McIlroy faces off against Martin Kaymer. Key shots and holes are interspersed with observations from the man himself delivered to camera. It's a neat idea that gives you a sense of occasion that's missing elsewhere. How odd that EA Tiburon should reserve it for the tutorial.

Also worth noting is the degree with which you can customise your swing. I'm a fan of the classic three-click system employed in many other golf games, though the gauge moves a little too slowly for my tastes here, and so I quickly reverted to the traditional analogue swing. As someone who played Tiger for many years on PlayStation 2 and 3, I was initially surprised at how sensitive it was - the comparative lack of deadzone on the DualShock 4 means any slight deviation from a perfectly straight down-and-up motion can see you slice drives into the heavy rough - though once you've acclimatised, you'll likely want to switch to Tour mode, which is more responsive and complex still, while offering fewer aim assists. The grid overlay on greens still doesn't give you the most useful read of the topography of the putting surface, and so I retained the aiming guideline for putting - even though it's actively unhelpful for any shot that breaks both ways on its way to the hole. Still, EA Sports isn't the only developer that needs to work on its short game, and I appreciated the ability to remove the training wheels at my own pace.

rory mcilroy pga tour ps4

Strangely, one of the most successful additions is the one that feels most out of place. The Night Club Challenge provides a number of bite-sized objectives with a variety of outlandish power-ups and features like turbo boosts, portals and sticky balls. Some stages are more like croquet than golf, while one objective, where you manually guide your ball through rings to top-up boost power en route to distant score markers, fleetingly reminded me of the brilliant Monkey Target. With three stars to collect on each challenge, it feels as if it was designed as a mobile spin-off - and might actually be a better fit on smartphones.

Its inclusion can be read one of two ways. Perhaps it was added to bulk up an otherwise insubstantial package, or perhaps EA Sports is targeting an audience which doesn't actually like the real sport that much. There's further evidence of this elsewhere: the default option for Career mode is Quick Rounds, which only lets you play "the most important holes" while determining your progress elsewhere based on your existing stats and form.

The assumption seems to be that most players won't have the desire or the stamina to play a full round - though in light of the limited number of courses, it may simply be a way to minimise repetition. Either way, EA Tiburon has produced a game hardly befitting a player of McIlroy's talents. The so-called "next generation of golf" looks uncomfortably similar to the last, and there's substantially less of it. Only the quality of the underlying game saves this from the ignominy of an Avoid sticker.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

Struggling to make par.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review - IGN Image

After taking 2014 as a gap year, EA Sports’ PGA Tour series has returned with a new cover athlete, a rebuilt game engine, and a more flexible approach to its control system. Unfortunately far too many concessions appear to have been made in order to accommodate these changes, and with its flimsy career mode, malnourished roster of licensed players and courses, and a glaring absence of fundamental game types, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a disappointing release that just barely manages to make the cut.

It’s a shame too because Rory McIlroy PGA Tour gets off to a great start. The Prologue that opens the game does an excellent job of introducing the three new control systems. You’re given the option of choosing between a classic ‘three-click’ swing timer, and two variants on the more contemporary analogue thumbstick-based setup – one a simplified system augmented with arcade-style power boosting and aftertouch spin controls, the other a more realistic method with all assists turned off and a more sensitive reception to the aim and velocity of your swing.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is solid enough out on the course but it’s just lacking too many of the series’ fundamentals to make it worthwhile for golf fans. Concessions are often made when sports games straddle the gap between console generations old and new, but considering the two year wait for a game that is only being released on current gen hardware, the rampant slash and burn of its feature set is particularly galling. EA Tiburon has managed to create a golf game with plenty of holes in it; just not the kind that fans will relish. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour’s tagline, ‘Golf without limits’, seemed enticing in the lead up to the game’s release. After experiencing everything this cut-down series reboot has to offer, the message just comes across as sarcastic.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour review: short game

By Owen S. Good on July 18, 2015 at 3:00pm

The list of can'ts in Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is as long as the par-5 14th hole at Pebble Beach, which, to get things started, you can't play — and Pebble had been on the disc of every game in this series going back to 1997.

If possible, the absence of famed Augusta National, which grabbed a lot of attention when EA Sports admitted that licensing agreement was over, is the least disappointing thing about this series' debut on the current console generation. But we can start with the pitifully small list of real-life courses that are available — eight, compared to 20 in its predecessor, and even more as downloadable content. (There are four fantasy courses ranging from realistic to bizarre.)

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour screenshot 03 1920

You can't select individual holes, all par-3s or all-par 5s on these courses to work on a specific section giving you trouble. It's either front nine, back nine or the whole round. You can't play in any weather other than clear skies. You can't play popular variants like skins, Stableford scoring or best ball. It's just stroke or match play.

You can't play the LPGA Tour and you can't even play as any real-life LPGA pro. Five were in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 . You can create a golfer of either gender, but you can't give him or her anything other than one of 11 pre-set heads or three body types. Of all the sports video games, golf is the one where everyone creates and plays as themselves, and this is an embarrassingly decade-old toolkit serving such a baseline expectation.

You can't play any amateur career (three were in Tiger Woods 14 ). You get one event on the minor-league Web.com Tour in which it is nearly impossible not to earn your PGA Tour card. You can't even — and for me, this was the most cynical omission — see the schedule in your player's career, probably because it would be an admission of how few events are on it. There are two major tournaments, the U.S. Open and the British Open, but you only get that presentation in your career. Can't select it in a round with friends.

In a career event, you can't simulate rounds to play only the final round, as many did in the past. You are given something called quick rounds, which offer five or six key holes and simulate the rest, but you must play some holes in all four rounds. If a course doesn't appeal to you, the only option is to withdraw.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour seems to want to justify the absence of so many things longtime players have come to expect by virtue of its presentation and an evolution in its basic mechanics. The career mode does have a new progression system that deepens your player's package of abilities instead of forcing him or her to be pure power, pure accuracy or down the middle.

Analog swing controls are improved by a shot-strength indicator that lets you watch your golfer in action, instead of a meter, and introduces some needed variability and difficulty in placing a shot. The game is still very forgiving, even for advanced users who turn off most of the package of swing assists and targeting help.

The gameplay's real strength is in putting, which now presents a reasonable and understandable challenge without babying the player with artificial preview paths, or abandoning him or her to long stretches of trial and error. A dashed line now represents the ideal putt path, which you then try to match using your aim and your own feeling of how fast and steep the green and its break are. There is a very nice feeling of accomplishment on 12-foot putts, and longer distances make it more sensible to just lag it close and two-putt, which in turn makes an accurate approach shot even more important.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour review crop b 480

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour also uses the new hardware to render the entire course instead of individual holes, which eliminates both the between-hole loads and the awkward broadcast graphics you saw while waiting. Shots that clip trees can now plow through the branches if they're going hard enough, where in the past they would fall straight down. The more powerful rendering does offer courses that play truer by keeping bad but not out-of-bounds shots still in play, and playing your ball where it lies, even if it's a real humdinger, rather than repositioning it automatically.

The crowds and their chatter are a lot more lifelike and the broadcast commentary of Rich Lerner and Frank Nobilo, of the Golf Channel, is much more conversational than the wooden and overacted delivery of Jim Nantz. However, it is given to repetition, even as the two helpfully chime in with anecdotes while you're taking time to line up your shot. The golfers have more detailed reactions and facial expressions, but they veer to the extreme. Why is my golfer doing the running-man dance after hitting his tee shot 276 yards on the first hole of the second round?

Online play is well-supported, with daily and weekly tournaments always available in addition to head-to-head matches against live opponents. There's an arcade suite called the Night Club Challenge in which players test their accuracy or driving distance on one of three neon-trimmed courses, equipping boosts to pull off stunt shots. It isn't as intriguing or deep as the historical or biographical modes its two predecessors offered, but it does offer more than 100 tricks to pull off, many tickling the common obsession with hitting a perfect shot.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour falls far short of its predecessors

This is Rory McIlroy PGA Tour 's overarching problem. It is a smooth-playing game of golf, which makes the inability to use its new gameplay on the old features fans loved even more regrettable.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is the last sports video game to make the console generation transition. It's painful to see another game — particularly this series — so gutted of features. After hitting its drive very thin, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is facing a long second, even third shot before it gets back to the kind of variety and value its three predecessors offered.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

Swing and a miss.

By Josiah Renaudin on July 24, 2015 at 11:06AM PDT

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a shallow, lifeless golf game--rich in technical failings but bankrupt of interesting content. The game types are limited, the number of players and courses is laughably small, and the textures awkwardly pop in and out of view as the camera scrolls across a course. Actually swinging a club and mapping out shots feels right, but whatever goodwill is earned on the course evaporates as you pull away to discover the unimpressive Pro Career mode and the restrictive nature of even the basic Play Now feature. The fresh face on the cover and fancy new game engine can't mask the fact that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is an undercooked debut that feels like half of a game.

It starts strong, at least, with a detailed tutorial on the various swing styles that provide you with more freedom than ever before. There are three set swing types: a basic analog stick setup where power is determined by the backswing, a more complex version where the follow-through is also taken into account, and the classic three-button press system. If none of the above suits your style, a custom swing option allows you to combine elements of each approach into a personalized pairing of preferences. You can determine if you'd like to be able to hit power shots, zoom in on the trajectory of your ball, see how the wind shapes its flight, and even closely control its spin. Whether you'd like to play Rory McIlroy PGA Tour as a sports simulation or an over-the-top arcade game, the options are there.

Brace yourself, this swing is going places.

No matter what style you choose, taking a smooth backswing and making solid contact with the ball feels authentic, and the putting is challenging without feeling punishing. A dashed line represents the path of your ball from its place on the green to the hole, which takes into account the putt's speed and break. It takes time to correctly read greens with steep hills or sharp ridges, but watching a 20-foot putt bend from right to left and clink at the bottom of the cup is very satisfying.

Other than the lack of load screens between holes and an improved putting system, the swing selection is the only area where Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is bigger and better than what's come before it. The number of real-life courses has been more than halved, with only eight locations that golfers will actually recognize. There are four additional make-believe locations, but none of them make up for the fact that you can't experience the Masters at one of the most famous courses of all time, Augusta National. If that’s not disappointing enough, there are just 12 playable golfers--about a quarter of what previous games have trained us to expect.

Fewer golfers wouldn't be all that damning if the character creator was even passable, but what's available is one of the worst customization tools ever stuffed into a sports game. There are so few options when creating your custom golfer that it's nearly impossible to make a character that you can even pretend looks like you, unless yours happens to match one of the 11 pre-set heads or three body types provided. Instead of feeling like you're starting your own unique career on the PGA Tour, the barebones tools force you to role-play as some anonymous young golfer straight out of a stock photo.

Relax and putt.

You take this indistinct, cookie-cutter avatar through a single lower-level Web.com event, and from there, you're off to the races. There's no grand buildup, no scenes of your collegiate career, and no narrative to push you forward. You go from tournament to tournament, either competing in quick rounds where you play five or six of the most important holes per day or going through all 72 holes with the hope of becoming the world's number one golfer. But without any sort of subsidiary content to complement the tournaments--such as a story, drills, or even a schedule to outline your goals--the Pro Career can quickly devolve into an unexciting slog devoid of drama.

The only saving grace is the fact that your character raises levels, earns new clubs, and unlocks additional outfits just about every time you complete a round of 18. This sense of progression makes the gauntlet of tournaments much more palatable, as you're able to see your power, accuracy, and spin vastly improve and lead to pretty shots and even prettier scorecards worth hanging on the fridge. You don't manually add points to specific aspects of your game, but you can choose from different packages that might focus on power, accuracy, or more balanced play.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour fails to pair its solid mechanics with diverse and interesting content, and its myriad technical failings drag the otherwise picturesque courses into the dirt.

Unfortunately, the bleak only gets bleaker as you venture outside of the career, where the online community-based Country Club and popular modes like Skins, Best Ball, and Battle Golf have all been removed. Online tournaments and head-to-head play give you some reason to test your created golfer against players more savvy than the AI, but the utter lack of gameplay variety is disappointing.

If you find yourself hungry for something--anything--new to grab on to, a fresh Night Club Challenge mode is available. This extended series of challenges has you landing balls in small circles and through floating hoops to earn points, but a mid-air nitrous boost just isn't enough to make target practice drills any fun. You can earn three stars per level--similar to most popular mobile games--but the deeper you travel down the road of challenges, the less it feels like golf.

Even outside this neon-lit, objective-based playground lie moments that, again, don't feel like anything you'd find on the real PGA Tour. Sinking birdie putts as your created player often leads to a shot of him or her awkwardly busting out the robot or the sprinkler--and while I don't think golf needs to be some sacred pursuit devoid of humor, the celebrations feel completely out of place.

That's one heck of an arc.

Additionally, the commentary sporadically mismatches its messages with what's actually taking place on-screen. Even though I sliced my ball out of bounds and into the trees at St. Andrews, both commentators talked about how unfortunate it was that I just hit it into the water--despite my ball being completely dry. After that, they mentioned how my approach shot had too much speed and not enough backspin as they watched it softly land on the back of the green and spin backward toward the front hole location. Like most other aspects of the game, the commentary is careless.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour fails to pair its solid mechanics with diverse and interesting content, and its myriad technical failings drag the otherwise picturesque courses into the dirt. There are just too few courses and golfers to keep you playing, and even the limited game modes available don't have anywhere near the complexity or depth we've come to expect. Whether you want to call it a shank, a duff, or a whiff, all that really matters is that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a poor effort from a series that was looking to make a splash in its generational debut.

  • Leave Blank
  • Different swing styles give players more control on the course
  • Putting is both challenging and rewarding
  • Disappointingly small roster and course selection
  • Dull career mode weighed down by paltry character creation tool

Critic Reviews for Rory McIlroy PGA Tour

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a disappointing golf game that just barely manages to make the cut.

Read full review

The assumption seems to be that most players won't have the desire or the stamina to play a full round - though in light of the limited number of courses, it may simply be a way to minimise repetition. Either way, EA Tiburon has produced a game hardly befitting a player of McIlroy's talents. The so-called "next generation of golf" looks uncomfortably similar to the last, and there's substantially less of it. Only the quality of the underlying game saves this from the ignominy of an Avoid sticker.

GamesRadar+

Despite smooth gameplay and fancy visuals, this game is handicapped by a distinct lack of courses and players, leaving it feeling incomplete and rather bland.

Metro GameCentral

The gameplay basics are fine, but this is the absolute bare bones of what a golf game should be – with less than half the amount of content of the last game in the series.

Game Informer

Rory has solid gameplay and covers the basic feature bases, but it doesn't distinguish itself

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour falls far short of its predecessors

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is an empty, unimpressive debut lacking in both content and finish.

Game Revolution

[A]s much as Night Golf and reduced loading times are fantastic additions to the standard PGA Tour offering, I would rather have more courses, golfers, and character customization with clean next-gen graphics. Content and execution outweigh novelty modes and convenience.

Rory McIlroy adds another PGA Tour event to schedule as hunt to end major drought continues

Rory McIlroy has increased his schedule in 2024, and has committed to yet another event by teaming up with Ryder Cup teammate Shane Lowry for the Zurich Classic

Rory McIlroy has committed to the Zurich Classic

  • 19:53, 25 Mar 2024

Rory McIlroy has added yet another PGA Tour event to his already-busy 2024 schedule, after committing to play in the Zurich Classic for the very first time alongside Shane Lowry.

McIlroy will join forces with his Ryder Cup teammate Lowry at the pairs event that gets underway at TPC Louisiana on April 25. The European stars are no stranger to playing as a pair, having represented Team Ireland as a duo at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo three years ago.

It takes up yet another week on the calendar of McIlroy, who has taken on a busier schedule than normal so far this campaign as he hunts down his first major title in 10 years starting with next month's Masters.

The Northern Irishman will have played eight tournaments before the upcoming trip to Augusta, two more than his previous two seasons. Alluding to his increased workload, he told Golf Digest earlier this year: " My big thing about Augusta is just to go in there playing well.

"The weeks before are important just to get me feeling like I'm in good form. This year, in fact, I'm going to play more before the Masters. It will be my ninth or 10th event of the year. Previously, it's been my sixth or seventh. I'll hopefully be a bit sharper and know exactly where my game really is."

And whilst his first ever trip will come to the Zurich will come after April Masters, it will serve as preparation for the PGA Championship which comes just three weeks later. McIlroy's last major victory came at the PGA almost 10 years ago, winning at Valhalla - the host course at this year's event.

For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US .

Since then the Northern Irishman has been unable to add to his major tally, having won four in three years, including two in 2014. His last major outing came at last summer's Open Championship, where he flirted with contention throughout the week before drifting off to finish in a tie for sixth.

Speaking on the back of his top-10 finish at Royal Liverpool, McIlroy was asked whether his lengthy wait for a major win played on his mind, but it appears his successes away from the four flagship events proved enough to keep him pleased with his game. "I don't think that way," he said last summer after being quizzed on the negativity surrounding his drought.

"I think about trying to go and win a fourth FedExCup here in a couple weeks' time, go try and win a fifth Race to Dubai, go and win a fifth Ryder Cup. I just keep looking forward." The 34-year-old returns to action at next week's Valero Texas Open, before heading to Augusta days later in the hope of winning the iconic green jacket for the first time.

Rory McIlroy Again Calls for Urgency in PGA Tour/LIV Golf Deal: ‘I Want the Train to Speed Up’

P ONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Saying that the golf world is “sick of all the fighting,” Rory McIlroy again called for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia to get a deal done as soon as possible.

“The more we go down this road, the more people will tune in just four times a year,” McIlroy said, referencing the four major championships.

McIlroy, who late last year gave up his seat on the PGA Tour Policy Board , spoke Wednesday morning at TPC Sawgrass, site of this week’s Players Championship, the tour’s flagship event.

But again, most of the pre-tournament talk has been about the uneasiness in a game right now that is divided, with several past major champions such as Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Cam Smith and Bryson DeChambeau not here because they are playing for the LIV Golf League.

“I want the train to speed up so we can get this over and done with,” McIlroy said of the proposed deal that was first announced as a framework agreement nine months ago.

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan on Tuesday said he met with Yasir Al-Rumayyan , the governor of the PIF who is also the director of LIV Golf and that “our negotiations are accelerating as we spend time together. While we have several key issues that we still need to work through, we have a shared vision to quiet the noise and unlock golf’s worldwide potential.”

Monahan gave no details other than to say “it is going to take time.” McIlroy’s paraphrased response: hurry up.

He pointed out that the ratings for this year’s signature events are not as good as they were in 2023, when the tournaments were called designated events and they had bigger fields.

With $20 million purses, top fields and 36-hole cuts only at three of the tournaments, the idea was to bring the best together more often. While that has happened, only Scottie Scheffler on Sunday winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational has been a big “name” winner.

U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark won at Pebble Beach in a weather-shortened event, and while Hideki Matsuyama is a worldwide star and a past Masters champion, his victory at the Genesis Invitational came when he was ranked outside of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

But Scheffler’s win at Bay Hill on Sunday saw ratings down 32 percent on NBC from last year’s win by Kurt Kitayama, according to Sports Media Watch . It had 2,291,000 viewers. (LIV Golf had 228,000 for its tape-delayed final round of the LIV Hong Kong event.)

“I think they really worked last year,” McIlroy said. “If you look at the leaderboards, you look at the ratings, I felt like they really, really worked in 2023, and for whatever reason, they're not quite capturing the imagination this year compared to last year.

“I think, if I were to put my own perspective on it, I think it's because fans are fatigued of what's going on in the game, and I think we need to try to reengage the fan and reengage them in a way that the focus is on the play and not on talking about equity and all the rest of it.

“That's why I said, the sooner that this is resolved, I think it's going to be better for the game and better for everyone, the fans and the players.”

Monahan, who has been criticized for his handling of the situation— Xander Schauffele on Tuesday said again that he has work to do to regain trust —received McIlroy’s backing in handling the situation going forward and pointed out several of his accomplishments.

“You look at what Jay has done since he took over,” McIlroy said. “The media rights deal (which began in 2022), navigating us through COVID, the strategic alliance with the DP World Tour. I would say creating PGA Tour Enterprises, we were just able to accept a billion and a half dollars in the business, people can nit-pick and say he didn't do this right or didn't do that right, but if you actually step back and look at the bigger picture, I think the PGA Tour is in a far stronger position than when Jay took over.”

McIlroy said “some of the reaction to June 6th was warranted, but I think at this point it's eight months ago, and we all need to move on. We all need to sort of move forward and try to bring the game back together.”

Rory McIlroy wants ‘train to speed up’ and bring rival golf tours together

  • LIV golfers not allowed to play in any PGA Tour events
  • World No 2 backs Tour commissioner Jay Monahan

Rory McIlroy has urged golf’s ­decision-makers to bring the peace deal between existing tours and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to fruition. McIlroy has also offered much-needed backing to the PGA Tour’s commissioner, Jay Monahan.

A resolution between the sport’s establishment and the PIF – which funds the LIV Golf Series – appears no closer, nine months after a framework agreement was signed. LIV ­golfers are therefore notable absentees as the PGA Tour’s flagship event, the ­Players Championship, gets under way at Sawgrass.

When asked whether he wants “the train to slow down a little bit” owing to chaos in elite golf, ­McIlroy said: “I want the train to speed up so we can get this thing over and done with.

“I think some of the ­reaction to 6 June was warranted but at this point it’s months ago and we all need to move on. We all need to sort of move forward and try to bring the game back together.”

Monahan has found himself in the firing line of Tour members. Xander Schauffele, the world No 6, said on Tuesday that Monahan has “a long way to go” to earn the trust of ­golfers. McIlroy takes an opposing view. “You look at what Jay has done since he took over,” said the ­Northern Irishman, “the media rights deal, navigating us through Covid, the ­strategic alliance with the DP World Tour. Creating PGA Tour Enterprises; we were just able to accept $1.5bn in the business. People can nitpick and say he didn’t do this right or didn’t do that right, but if you actually step back and look at the bigger picture, I think the PGA Tour is in a far stronger position than when Jay took over.”

McIlroy stepped down from the PGA Tour’s policy board in ­November. PGA Tour Enterprises now has its own board of directors, which McIlroy admits he could become involved with. “You’ve got two boards on Tour,” the 34-year-old said. “One is really a business board and their ­priority is growing the ­business of the PGA Tour. And then the policy board, which I was on, was about making rules and slow play and whatever else.

“The business board to me would be something … if an opportunity came along in the future and I felt like it was the right time, would maybe be something that I would like to get involved in again.”

Rory McIlroy endures wild second round at THE PLAYERS Championship

Found rough, sand, water and bark in bizarre score line.

Change Text Size

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Rory McIlroy could have used a little more grass in his second round at THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass on Friday.

Too often he found himself playing out of the rough, sand and trees. He also hit his third water ball of the tournament at the par-4 12th hole and signed for a 1-over 73.

He’s 6-under par going into the weekend, eight shots behind leader Wyndham Clark (65).

McIlroy politely declined to comment after his round.

“Sorry, guys, I’ve got to go hit balls before it gets dark,” he said before hitting the driving range.

After making 10 birdies in an opening-round 65, McIlroy’s roller-coaster second round came as a surprise. For the first six holes Friday he traded bogeys and birdies, failing to scratch out a par.

He fought mostly a left miss – unless it was a right miss.

Rory McIlroy nearly holes 103-yard approach from rough at THE PLAYERS

Sometimes he got away with it. At the par-4 seventh hole, he hit his tee shot into the right trees but threaded his second over a pond and to the green, then two-putted for par, his first of the day.

Sometimes he didn’t get away with it. At the par-4 14th, McIlroy hit his tee shot into the left fairway bunker, from which he lined up what needed to be a heroic approach from 201 yards. It came off too low and thwacked a tree, the ball ricocheting dead right but into the fairway, 91 yards away. His third found the green, but too short, and he three-putted from 46 1/2 feet.

Although McIlroy made pars on the last four holes, even that was an adventure. He was in the left trees at the par-5 16th hole and did well to earn a birdie opportunity from 16 feet but missed.

He hit a brave shot 12 feet past the pin at the par-3 17th hole, but missed that putt, too.

And at the finishing hole, where a left missed is severely punished by a gaping water hazard, he split the fairway only to hit his approach over the green, from which he could only manage par.

McIlroy hit just 8/14 fairways and 11/18 greens in regulation. Although he’s made the second most birdies in the field, 15 – Clark has 16 – he’s simply made too many mistakes.
