But while LIV managed to add McIlroy’s Ryder Cup team-mates Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton to its ranks for the 2024 season, the world number two has reiterated that his future remains on the PGA Tour.
“I think I’ve made it clear over the past two years that I don’t think it’s something for me,” McIlroy added of LIV.
“It doesn’t mean I judge people that have went and played over there. I think one of the things I’ve realised over the past two years is people can make their own decisions for whatever they think is best for themselves. Who are we to 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 even been a conversation for us. It’s one of those things, it’s unfortunate that we have to deal with it but I’m obviously here today and I’m playing this PGA Tour event next week and will play the PGA Tour for the rest of my career.”
McIlroy is coming off a disappointing week at the Masters, where he finished in a tie for 22nd in his latest unsuccessful bid to complete the career grand slam.
The 24-time PGA Tour winner is playing in this week’s RBC Heritage in South Carolina before teaming up with Ireland’s Shane Lowry for next week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
