Rory McIlroy calls for more international presence in PGA Tour 2024 schedule, expresses desire for events in Wentworth, Ireland, and more

As the PGA Tour looks ahead to its 2024 schedule, Rory McIlroy has voiced his opinion on the alliance with the DP World Tour, which instigates the need for a more international presence in the tour’s events.

While the PGA Tour already includes events outside the USA, such as in Canada, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, Rory McIlroy believes there’s room for further expansion.

“I would like to see more of an international flavor going forward, trying to incorporate some of the – you know, with this strategic alliance with the DP World Tour trying to incorporate some of the other – we’ve got the co-sanctioned Scottish Open, but it would be great to see Wentworth or Ireland or something in continental Europe, whatever it is, I think that would be hopefully something that happens in the future,” said Rory Mcllroy (Via Golf Monthly).

Despite being a dominant force on the tour, McIlroy’s own victories in 2023 have occurred abroad at the Dubai Desert Classic in the UAE and the Genesis Scottish Open in the UK. Nonetheless, he’s aiming to secure his first win on US soil this week at the Tour Championship.

Reflecting on the upcoming 2024 schedule, McIlroy expressed enthusiasm for Pebble Beach’s elevation to a signature event, highlighting the prestige of the iconic course and the anticipated high-caliber field.
