But while LIV managed to add McIlroy’s Ryder Cup teammates Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton to its ranks for the 2024 season, the world number two reiterated his future remains on the PGA Tour.
“I think I’ve made it clear over the last couple of years that I don’t think it’s something for me,” McIlroy added of LIV.
“That doesn’t mean I judge people who went to play there. I think one of the things I’ve realized over the last couple of years is that people can make their own decisions about what They think they are best for themselves, should we judge them for that?
“For me, my future is here on the PGA Tour, and it’s never been any different.”
He added: “It’s never been a conversation for us. It’s one of those things, it’s a shame we have to deal with it but obviously I’m here today and I’m playing this PGA Tour event next week and I’ll be playing the PGA Tour for the rest of my career.”
McIlroy is coming off a disappointing week at the Masters, where he finished tied for 22nd in his last failed attempt to complete the career Grand Slam.
The 24-time PGA Tour winner plays this week at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina before teaming up with Ireland’s Shane Lowry for the Zurich Classic in New Orleans next week.
