Rory McIlroy says he would be open to play in a tournament backed by LIV Golf if the controversial tour became more like cricket’s Indian Premier League.

McIlory has been a staunch opponent of LIV which has recruited high-profile players and fractured golf.

Merger talks between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which funds LIV, will continue in 2024 in an attempt to end the split.

The IPL began in 2008 and has grown to be cricket’s most high-profile and lucrative franchise T20 league with players paid large sums to play in the competition which is largely given a free window in the sport’s calendar.
