Rory McIlroy anticipates a difficult return for LIV Golf players to the PGA Tour, questioning the value they would contribute.

McIlroy suggested that any returning LIV players might not receive the same favorable terms as those who previously rejoined, like Brooks Koepka.
Scottie Scheffler acknowledged that LIV Golf has talented players who would add value to the PGA Tour. However, he believes that penalties must be implemented for players returning from LIV. Scheffler emphasized his desire to compete against the world's best, including those on the LIV circuit.
