World No. 1 Rory McIlroy has dealt a major blow to the proposed Premier Golf League by saying he is not open to joining it.
Speaking ahead of the WGC-Mexico Championship, which gets underway on Thursday, McIlroy said he did not like the prospect of not being able to run his own schedule, per Steve DiMeglio of USA Today:
