«I think Greg needs to go,» McIlroy said in November. «I think he just needs to walk off stage left. He’s made his mark, but I think now is the right time to say, ‘Look, you’ve got this off the ground, but nobody’s going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room who You can try to fix things.'»

McIlroy also told reporters ahead of the RBC Canadian Open on Wednesday that he believes LIV Golf will cease to exist following this merger.

MITCH MCCONNELL DOES NOT BELIEVE PGA TOUR MERGER WITH SAUDI-BACKED LIV GOLF HAS ‘GOVERNMENT CONCERNS’

«The only thing I think was really misconstrued yesterday was all the headlines saying the PGA Tour merges with LIV,» he explained, via Sky Sports News. «LIV has nothing to do with this. The PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the Public Investment Fund are basically teaming up to create a new company. I think that’s where he was a little frustrated because everything he wanted to do and all I’ve wanted in the last year basically from this tournament is to protect the future of the PGA Tour and to protect the aspirational nature of what the PGA Tour stands for.

«I hope this does that, but I think with the headlines saying ‘LIV mergers,’ that’s not it. If you look at how it’s structured, this new company is on top of everything. Jay is the CEO of that, so technically anyone involved with LIV would now answer to Jay. The PGA Tour has control over everything.»

Woods added: «Greg has to go,» when asked if LIV Golf and the PGA Tour could co-exist.

There has been no official word on Norman’s status with the new entity, which has yet to be named.
