Rory McIlroy will be directly involved in the PGA Tour's talks with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund after all - joining a subcommittee alongside Tiger Woods
Rory McIlroy has confirmed he is joining Tiger Woods and Adam Scott on a PGA Tour subcommittee directly involved in discussions with LIV Golf's backers.
The four-time major winner was recently tipped to make a return to the policy board, which includes the likes of Woods, Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Spieth.

"I don’t have a vote so I don’t have I guess a meaningful say in what happens in the future, but at least I feel like I can be helpful on that committee. And that was sort of a compromise for I guess not getting a board seat." PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said McIlroy would have "important influence" on the future of the organisation before the Wells Fargo Championship started. Monahan was quizzed about McIlroy being denied the chance to rejoin the board.
