Rory McIlroy believes that golf will reunite in the future but feels that the ongoing rivalry between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf needs to 'cool off'.
McIlroy is in action at the Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland and was speaking to media ahead of the event.
The world number two reckons that golf can reunite in the future.
The Northern Irishman told BBC Sport: “I’m just a golfer but the powers that be need to sit down and have a conversation.
“Right now with two lawsuits going on, and how heightened the rhetoric has been, I think we just need to let it cool off a little bit.
“While that is trundling on I can’t see anything happening. It has been an ugly year but there is a solution to everything.
“If we can send rockets to the moon and bring them back again and have them land on their own I’m sure we can figure out how to make professional golf cohesive again.”
Shane Lowry is also playing at the event.
The 2019 Open champion has his eyes on the prize this week in Scotland.
“I’d love to win at St Andrews and to win this tournament would be very special, and it would definitely be another box ticked in my career.
“It’s definitely one of the places you’d love to win.”
