Rory McIlroy believes the pendulum has swung more in the PGA Tour's favor with the return of Brooks Koepka from LIV Golf and Patrick Reed leaving the Saudi-funded league and being virtually assured a tour card for next year.

McIlroy first put the TaylorMade P7CB irons, 5-9, in the bag for the final 36 holes of the Australian Open last December. He continued to use the cavity-backs for both DP World Tour starts in Dubai last month. But after finishes of T-14, T-3 and most recently T-33 at the Dubai Desert Classic, McIlroy swapped back in his Rors Proto blades.
