Rory McIlroy Makes Feelings Clear on Bryson DeChambeau’s PGA Tour Return: ‘Have Lost…’
Golf star Rory McIlroy has spoken candidly about the possibility of Bryson DeChambeau returning to the PGA Tour, admitting that some trust within the game has been “lost” amid the ongoing divide.
McIlroy, one of the PGA Tour’s strongest supporters during the LIV split, suggested that while reconciliation is possible, it won’t be simple. He acknowledged that players who left for LIV Golf would face skepticism if they came back, as the fallout affected relationships, credibility, and the competitive balance of the tour.
Though he stopped short of singling out DeChambeau personally, McIlroy made it clear that actions have consequences and that rebuilding unity would take time. His comments reflect a broader sentiment among PGA Tour loyalists — forgiveness may come, but the scars from the split remain.
As talks about the future of professional golf continue, McIlroy’s remarks underline how complex a full reunion could be, even for the sport’s biggest names.
