Ian Mallon: Is PGA Tour finally ready to recognise Rory McIlroy's value? 

FAI starts the search to fund Roy Barrett's replacement and sport's most exceptional sponsorship.

IN THE coming weeks, the US PGA Tour should, no must, present Rory McIlroy with a $15m cheque - cut from the richest prize fund in golf – following a year of duplicity and double cross.

The $100m Player Impact Programme stands alone as the most valuable purse in all of golf, ahead of the $75m FedEx Cup prize total.
