Rory McIlroy missed the cut last week for the first time in 30 PGA Tour events but while underlying statistics suggest a deterioration in form, here's why the Florida-swing offers cause for optimism.

Doesn't need any more money, just title hunting so I have no idea why he can't just truck up every week relaxed and have a laugh. It's the guys with no money from week to week that have all of the pressure on them
Seems to me like he just needs to get that monkey off his back and win again, we all know how good his A game is, the longer he goes on without a win, the more the pressure builds.
Yes, it's really hard to play whilst carrying a monkey on his back
Can think of an awful lot of golfers with a cracking A game.
Most of them win things occasionally.
He's not so good a tap is gonna be turned on and watch him go.
His putting will never keep him up there yet Augusta is the one he wants?

Many amateurs on here seem to be able to analyse and dissect his game and mindset, 'hopeless with his short irons', 'can't putt', 'has pockets full of money and no desire', 'crumbles under pressure'. Only Rory knows what's happening and may not even know why, not too dissimilar to the days we have out on the course. He's played some amazing golf, won majors, has hit a bad patch. He'll bounce back.
In relation to the others at the top of the World list, he can't.
Compared to the average club golfer he can.

Always feel with Rory he does not practice enough. lockdown ends and he came back poor......season ends and he's come back poor........theres a pattern and it says not working hard enough during time off.
He is a fabulous driver but he can't play the game out of the rough. Also is short game is simply not good enough. Add to that inconsistent putting and you can see why he's not winning.
He has to take a long hard look at Dustin Johnson and how he turned his game around. Practice, practice and more practice with his iron play has transformed him into the best player in the world by a mile.

Why is this guy always given so much publicity. He’s barely won anything and seems to have a media bandwagon around wherever he goes. Boring....
You have to look at where he was to where he is now. Yes he can play the game but not as well as he used to. Not sure if the stats show thus but i believe his form started to deteriorate when he started to play with Nike clubs at a time I didn’t even know they made clubs. I think the money they paid him at the time would have been irresistible.
Who cares? Overrated and overpaid. Long may his poor form continue.
Glad you like him x
Rory McIlroy has two problems. The first is in his head with mood swings and lack of concentration. The second is his Caddy. When he had JP Fitzgerald his head was straight was was his golf. His current caddy Harry Diamond has little experience so that tells in McIlroys game.
Tiger Woods was a lucky boy after a high speed crash. Looks like his golfing days are done which is a tragedy.

Some things are more important than sport - ask his kids...
Rory's past his best, for sure, but there's no reason for him to call it quits already is there?
Tiger Woods is a lucky boy he is alive. He has a serious right leg injury which required rods screws and plates. His ankle is shattered and has also been plated. He is going to need serious time to recover and will need extensive physiotherapy. what makes it worse is its his right leg which is where he puts the bulk of his weight as he swings. God speed to recover Tiger.
