McIlroy denies Woods rift despite differing views on golf’s direction
Rory McIlroy

RORY McILROY admitted he and Tiger Woods have differing views on the direction of men’s golf but denied suggestions of a rift with the 15-time major champion today.

The pair, plus 2013 Masters winner Adam Scott, are part of a newly formed seven-person “transaction subcommittee” by the PGA Tour to hold negotiations with the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf.

It comes after McIlroy, who has previously been one of the arch critics of the breakaway tour, revealed he would not replace Webb Simpson on the PGA Tour policy board after the prospect of his return reopened “old wounds” among other players.
