Irish golf legend Paul McGinley is set to participate in the Legends Tour in Barbados, but he doesn't have high hopes of competing for a title. After hanging up his clubs on the European Tour, the Ryder Cup hero - who led Team Europe to triumph in 2014 with Rory McIlroy - has become a respected pundit. But now, he's gearing up to swing into action once more at the Legends Tour event in Barbados, hosted by none other than ex-Masters champ Ian Woosnam. However, McGinley doesn't believe that he will be able to challenge for a title, given the time he has taken away from the game, using Tiger Woods' similar playing time as of late as an example. He told BBC Sport Scotland: "I played two tournaments last year, but I still love to play golf. "I just have so many other things going on and that's taking me away from playing," reports Belfast Live. He added: "My expectations are not that high because you just don't turn up and contend. "Tiger Woods, the best that we've ever seen, tried to play nothing but the majors two years ago and even he struggled. We're lucky on the Legends Tour. "Money is being thrown around the top level of golf like confetti. The Saudis have created a false economy, and the players are benefiting." McGinley has been quite vocal about LIV Golf, a rival to the PGA Tour, since its inception. While many have criticised the tour, the Irish star believes there are some aspects of their rules that can be learned from. Specifically, McGinley appreciates how LIV mandates that every player signed to the tour is contractually obligated to participate in each of their events. On the PGA Tour, signature events have been introduced, and stars are expected to skip very few, if any, of these tournaments or risk losing their Player Impact Program (PIP) bonus money. However, this was relaxed from the 2024 season, and McGinley, who served on the DP World Tour's board until 2023, feels that LIV are doing things correctly by obligating their stars to play in every event and tying them down to a contract. He told Sky Sports: "When it comes to big decisions on the boards, the players [on the PGA Tour] may have ultimate control. I think those two dynamics make it really difficult to push the game forward. "It's one of the things that I think LIV have got right." He added: "I'm not saying pay the players less, but pay them differently. "If they're contracted, and you know what you're selling, then it's a whole different conversation from the business of golf if the administration goes out to a sponsor and says, 'We would like you to sponsor for this amount of money, and this is who we will give you in year one, this is who we will give you in year two, etc'."
