Rory McIlroy says there has to be "consequences to actions" for the golfers that left the PGA Tour but added that he believes the new merger between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf is "good for golf".
In addressing the media for the first time since Tuesday's announcement, McIlroy said he learned of the deal "pretty much at the same time everyone else did", adding that he felt like a "sacrificial lamb".
McIlroy also maintained that despite welcoming the new entity, "I still hate LIV", and he suggested that LIV Golf is not part of the new deal, adding that it's Saudi-backed Public Investment Fund that are joining as a partner.
McIlroy said: "Whether you like it or not, the PIF are going to keep spending money in golf... at least the PGA Tour now controls how that money is spent.
"One of the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the world, would you rather have them as a partner or an enemy? At the end of the day, money talks and you'd rather have them as a partner."
