Rory McIlroy has been known to take some sharp U-turns on his opinions over the last few years, particularly as it relates to the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. He was willing to state another position Wednesday as strong as any. He is not playing the PGA Tour Champions when he turns 50.

Scheffler has yet to enter the winner's circle this season, but Rory McIlroy has already hoisted a trophy. The world No. 2 is listed closely behind Scheffler at 7-1 as the two have combined to win three of the last the five Players with McIlroy's title coming in 2019.

Rory McIlroy has no interest in playing on the Champions tour down the road: "Something has went terribly wrong if I have to compete at golf at 50."
