PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.—Rory McIlroy wants golf put back together again as quickly as possible, saying Tuesday, Jan. 30, that even winning one of the PGA Tour’s signature events would feel cheapened because it didn’t have all the best players in the world.

McIlroy also said he would be opposed to any form of punishment for players who left the tour for the Saudi riches of LIV Golf and wanted to come back.
