Rory McIlroy has voiced his frustration over the stalled negotiations between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, emphasizing the need for a swift resolution.

He expressed concern that prolonged negotiations could jeopardize the future of professional golf, highlighting the urgency for a resolution.

McIlroy noted that the ongoing division in professional golf has created uncertainty and fatigue among players and fans.

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan stated there is no immediate deadline for finalizing a deal with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), a stance McIlroy believes is unwise.

Monahan acknowledged the complexity of the negotiations and the patience required, but McIlroy is growing increasingly impatient.

Despite initial optimism for an agreement last June, progress has been slow, with the PGA Tour recently securing another significant funding deal.

McIlroy warned that if a deal is not finalized soon, the PIF may explore alternative options, potentially leading to a major divide in the golfing world.

He indicated that the PIF might consider investing in other tours if negotiations do not progress.

McIlroy emphasized that the ongoing uncertainty is detrimental to the quality of golf and the PGA Tour's ability to present its best product.

He believes that the inclusion of personalities from LIV Golf could enhance the PGA Tour's appeal.

McIlroy's comments came after the first round of the Tour Championship, the PGA Tour's season-ending event, underscoring the urgency of the situation.

As a member of the Tour's transaction committee, McIlroy reiterated the need for unity in golf to enhance competition and excitement.
