ORLANDO, Fla. – Last month at the Genesis Invitational Rory McIlroy declared the super league concept over, but the Northern Irishman conceded Wednesday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational that he can see a version of a global tour in the future.
The concept has been revisited in recent months as the Saudi-backed super league, which is reportedly working toward a global tour with limited fields, gained traction. But late last month, the startup league appeared to suffer a serious setback when Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau, who were both rumored to be leaning in the Saudi direction, announced their support of the PGA Tour.
