Renowned golf coach Butch Harmon has offered valuable advice to Rory McIlroy as the world No. 2 gears up for another shot at completing his career Grand Slam at the Masters. Harmon, former coach to Tiger Woods, emphasized McIlroy’s exceptional talent, reminding him of his status as one of the game’s greatest players.
McIlroy, who has faced a slump in form with nearly a decade passing since his last Major victory, sought out Harmon for a four-hour session in Las Vegas ahead of the Masters. The Northern Irish golfer praised Harmon’s role not just as a golf coach but also as a psychologist, highlighting their focus on improving short-iron play and discussing strategies for Augusta.
Harmon stressed the importance of McIlroy relaxing and enjoying his game, urging him to embrace each shot and trust in his abilities. Despite the immense pressure McIlroy faces, especially in his pursuit of completing the career Grand Slam, Harmon emphasized the need for him to be himself on the course.
Acknowledging McIlroy’s exceptional performance off the tee this season, Harmon highlighted the area needing improvement—approaches to the green. They worked on refining McIlroy’s swing, aiming for better control and consistency, particularly with mid-irons and wedges.
McIlroy, who shares a longstanding relationship with Harmon dating back to his teenage years, recently completed practice rounds at Augusta in preparation for the tournament. Harmon’s guidance and McIlroy’s dedication are key elements as he strives to capture the elusive Green Jacket.
