Rory: Top players shunning Super League | Scott in talks with SLG

Rory McIlroy highlighted the fact the world's top players have turned down the Super Golf League but Adam Scott has confirmed he is in talks to join the lucrative Saudi-led project.

The 32-year-old Northern Irishman has previously labelled the proposals as a "money grab" and referred to the "not so Super League" ahead of this week's Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club.

"I don't know - I understand the financial part of it for guys that are later on in their career.

"You look at the people that have already said no, (Jon) Rahm, No 1 in the world, Collin Morikawa, myself. Like you've got the top players in the world are saying no, so that has to tell you something."

However, 2013 Masters champion Scott revealed he has had discussions over signing up to the proposed rival tour and argued it is a good thing for professional golfers.

"I think that the schedule they're proposing is very appealing to probably most golfers, I would think, depending what your goals are in golf," the 41-year-old Australian added.

"From that side of things I would consider doing that, for sure, from a lifestyle side of things,
