Rory McIlroy Cautions PGA Tour: ‘Golf Doesn’t Need To Be the NFL’

Speaking in India, McIlroy backed growth but warned against copying football. "Golf doesn’t need to be the NFL… golf is golf," he said, citing respect for "traditions and values." After a raucous Ryder Cup at Bethpage, he urged "balance" as new CEO Brian Rolapp, an NFL veteran, promises "significant change." The message: innovate, don’t erase identity in golf.
