In some of his strongest comments yet, Rory McIlroy called for Greg Norman to step aside as LIV Golf commissioner.

“Greg needs to go,” McIlroy told reporters Tuesday ahead of the DP World Tour’s season-ending event in Dubai. “He needs to exit stage left.

“He’s made his mark, but I think now is the right time to say you’ve got this thing off ground. No one’s going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences.”

McIlroy’s public remarks come a week after the Telegraph reported that LIV Golf was poised to replace Norman with former TaylorMade executive Mark King, a scenario that had been rumored for months but LIV now denies.
