Rory McIlroy is interested to see how LIV Golf's move to 72-hole tournaments from its usual 54 plays out. 

It was announced on Monday that LIV will expand to the more traditional four-round events for its 2026 season, a switch which could boost attempts to be recognised by the Official Golf World Ranking.
