Rory McIlroy criticizes Greg Norman, Scottie Scheffler wins Players Title | PGA Tour

On the eve of a landmark meeting between the PGA Tour’s player board and the president of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), Rory McIlroy said Greg Norman and LIV Golf chiefs had accused Yasir Al Rumayyan of “unfair conduct.” ” he said. .

Tiger Woods is scheduled to attend Monday’s gathering, which will be the first time a PGA Tour player-manager has an audience with Mr. Lumayan. The result could have a significant impact on Woods’ approach as Ryder Cup captain. The PGA of America hopes to secure a captain for the September 2025 meeting with Europe at Bethpage by next month’s Masters.

It is widely understood that the U.S. role will be played by Woods if he wants it, but the 15-time major champion has so far been reluctant. He was always thought to have his eyes set on 2027 and Adare Manor, but there may even be a scenario where he captains back-to-back Ryder Cups. If Woods declares he is not a candidate for Bethpage, Stewart Cink would be the clear favorite to coach the U.S. team.

Much of Woods’ free time is spent on matters on the PGA Tour’s policy committee. The PGA Tour recently completed a $1.5 billion deal with Strategic Sports Group, but PIF, which funds LIV Golf, is still on the lookout. For golf to properly unite on a global scale, the PGA Tour and PIF must work together. Agree. Still, the U.S. Department of Justice is keeping a close eye on Golf’s fate.Mr. Rumayan will have an opportunity to explain to board members. How is PIF planning? It operates in parallel with the PGA Tour.

“I think it should have happened months ago, so I’m glad it happened,” McIlroy said. “If possible, that is Conversation progresses And get closer to the solution.

“I’ve spent time with Yasir. I think the people who represented him in ‘LIV’ did a terrible thing to him, so Norman and those guys. I think there are two entities. Look, I actually think there’s a very big disconnect between PIF and LIV. I think there’s PIF here and LIV is doing its own thing here. So if we’re Yasir Mr., I think it would be a really good thing if we could get closer to PIF and hopefully get that investment completed.”

McIlroy added that Lemayan “fundamentally wants to do the right thing.” In this context, Woods’ position is interesting. He is known for having very little time on the LIV Commissioner Norman and the Rebels tour itself. Woods has also questioned the need for Saudi Arabia’s participation on the SSG-funded PGA Tour, so Rumayyan will have some persuasion. He personally believes that if Woods is confident that a positive agreement can be reached in parallel with PIF, he could devote more time to the Ryder Cup position.

Asked if he would be interested in Bethpage in 2025, Woods said:must get this [deal] Now that it’s done, I need to focus on this. The players and everyone involved understand that this is an issue that we need to focus on. ”

Another player-director, Patrick Cantlay, was largely cautious about what would happen Monday. The 50th Players Championship was held without the two current major champions, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm, as the PGA Tour maintains its position of not allowing LIV golfers to participate in its events. The general opinion is that this situation is detrimental to golf. Nevertheless, many on the PGA Tour believe those who accept a contract at LIV should not be given an easy route back to their former domain. “I don’t think we’ll be able to say anything substantive in our first meeting,” Cantlay said. “I’m not thinking about anything substantive. It’s just a meet and greet.”

Lost in this melee was Scottie Scheffler’s dramatic player defense success. World No.1 He finished the final round with a 64 and won the title at 20 under, but he saw Windham Clark make a horseshoe putt from the 72nd hole. If Clark had found the bottom of the cup, he would have been forced into the playoffs. Instead, he had to share second place with Brian Herman and Xander Schauffele. Scheffler’s recent success came despite his neck injury. He is the first back-to-back Players Champion. “It’s hard enough to get one of those, so this is very special,” Scheffler said.
