Rory McIlroy recently said that he was a traditionalist when it came to golf and that there was nothing close to championship golf. However, he added that with TGL, he wanted the game to appeal to a younger generation.

On Thursday, December 19, McIlroy attended the Boston Common GC's press conference. During the press conference, the Northern Irishman addressed many questions regarding the new tech-infused league and its format, which is unlike traditional golf.

"I'm still a traditionalist in a lot of ways," he said as per NBC Sports. "There’s no replicating championship golf. I think that’s always going to be around. It always will be around.
