Rory McIlroy has decided not to return to the PGA Tour policy board after previously resigning from the group in November.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday at the site of the Wells Fargo Championship, McIlroy explained his decision came after some "pretty messy" talks in which other player directors had concerns about him returning to the board:

"There's been a lot of conversations. Sort of reminded me partly why I didn't [stay on the board]. So yeah, I think it got pretty complicated and pretty messy.

"I think with the way it happened, I think it opened up some old wounds and scar tissue from things that have happened before.
