McIlroy enters the PGA Championship having won three times in eight starts this season, a .375 winning percentage that eclipses those of the Chicago White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies in the MLB as of May 11.

Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas turned in good weeks at the Truist Championship to hold onto the top spots on the PGA Tour money list.

Rory McIlroy said Wednesday that his silent treatment of Bryson DeChambeau in the final group at the Masters wasn’t personal.

Justin Rose was ‘baffled’ by the outpouring of praise he received following his defeat to Rory McIlroy in a play-off at the Masters in April. The 44-year-old have a superb final round featuring 10 birdies to force McIlroy into a play-off hole where the Northern Irishman’s birdie beat Rose’s par and won him the green jacket for the very first time.

There was a moment during Rory McIlroy’s Wednesday press conference at Quail Hollow that illustrated how he has morphed from a man who needs to a man who wants. Needs are essentials without which one is lost.
