Rory McIlroy Reduces PGA Tour Schedule
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.
Rory McIlroy is reducing his PGA Tour schedule, preferring majors and family time.
He played three straight weeks, which he considers his limit.
McIlroy believes the old PGA Tour model was good before LIV's influence.
He finished tied for fourth at the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
McIlroy's schedule will continue to shrink as he prioritizes rest and major tournaments.
