Rory McIlroy Reduces PGA Tour Schedule

Rory McIlroy Reduces PGA Tour Schedule
Rory McIlroy admits he won’t play most PGA Tour events as schedule keeps shrinking · livemint.com

Rory McIlroy, a famous golfer, said he won't play most PGA Tour events anymore.

He's 37 and has been playing professionally for about 19 years.

He feels that playing every week isn't fun for him anymore.

He'd rather play in big tournaments called majors, spend time with his family, and rest.

He also said that the PGA Tour was good before a new league called LIV started.

Now, he thinks the tour doesn't need to change as much.

He finished in fourth place at a recent tournament, but he's not planning to play more often.

He's happy with playing just a few weeks in a row, like the three weeks he just played.

“But now that LIV looks like it's less of a threat, I think the old ways of the PGA Tour weren't actually that bad.”
