McIlroy Urges Golf to Learn from NI Peace Process

Rory McIlroy has called for professional golf to follow the example of the Northern Ireland peace process and seek “a compromise” that brings the divided parties together.

Amid the ongoing schism between the PGA Tour and the breakaway LIV circuit, the world number two recalled the Good Friday Agreement, the 1998 peace deal that helped to end the Troubles in his homeland.

McIlroy said there would need to be concessions made in any deal between the two golf tours and stressed the benefit of reaching an accord soon.
