Could Rory McIlroy’s recent comeback be attributed to his decision to distance himself from the game’s boardroom conflicts? McIlroy has turned his attention entirely to the game after years of being an outspoken voice in the PGA Tour’s politics, and it’s working. McIlroy is defending his title at the Truist Championship with fresh zeal after winning the Masters and completing the career Grand Slam.
McIlroy credits performance boost to steering clear of PGA Tour politics
McIlroy was questioned about his apparent performance improvement since removing himself from PGA Tour politics during the Truist Championship press conference. He said, “I think so. Certainly not involved too much in the politics of everything… I think at this point, I don’t care. I want to play golf.”
It appears that this renewed emphasis is having an impact. McIlroy, who felt “a little rusty,” started the Truist Championship with a strong 66, only five shots behind the leader. His recent victory at the Masters, which ended a ten-year major drought, has also given him more confidence going into upcoming competitions.
McIlroy seems to have discovered a balance that enables him to focus on his game while removing himself from the administrative aspects of the sport. This strategy might be the secret to his long-term success as he competes at the greatest level.
