Rory McIlroy calls for the split world of professional golf to find 'a compromise' that brings a sense of unity.
Rory McIlroy has called for professional golf to follow the example of the Northern Ireland peace process and seek "a compromise" that brings the divided parties together.McIlroy said there would need to be concessions made in any deal between the two golf tours and stressed the benefit of reaching an accord soon.
"Catholics weren't happy, Protestants weren't happy, but it brought peace and then you just sort of learn to live with whatever has been negotiated, right?"Speaking ahead of this week's Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina, McIlroy added: "That was in 1998, and 20, 25, 30 years ahead, my generation doesn't know any different. It's just this is what it's always been like and we've never known anything but peace.
