Rory McIlroy shot a 1-under 71 on Thursday in the first round of the Masters at Augusta National. It was an eventful day for the four-time major champion, who had three bogeys and four birdies. However, it felt like McIlroy left a stroke on the course. “It was a little rough,” McIlroy said. “Sometimes it’s […]

AUGUSTA, Ga. — It’s been almost 10 years. It’s been a long, exhausting, at times heartbreaking and infuriating decade for Rory McIlroy, but it probably felt like 20 years. He’s tried everything to win the Masters and change his fortunes, and he’s tried everything but riding a horse at Magnolia Lane. And until the 34-year-old […]
Tiger Woods says when not if Rory McIlroy squashes Masters demon, earns Grand Slam

Tiger Woods, who has five green jackets to his name, feels Rory McIlroy will one day earn his own. The Northern Irishman has come close many times at Augusta National, but never more so than in 2011.

Rory McIlroy dishes cold truth on “jarring” PGA Tour ratings in the tank

The PGA Tour hasn’t had a good season in terms of ratings. At this year’s Players Championship, perhaps the best professional golf tournament since the 2022 U.S. Open, Scottie Scheffler came from behind to win the PGA Tour’s marquee event.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy’s TGL league unveils part of 2025 schedule, new steel facility
