# McIlroy says he would vote to let LIV golfers return to PGA Tour

Rory McIlroy said he would vote in favour of allowing players who joined the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league to return to the PGA Tour. The Northern Irish golfer was long one of LIV's fiercest critics, making his shift a notable signal that the sport's divided tours could move toward reunification. Any return would still depend on PGA Tour leadership and ongoing talks over the professional game's structure.
