Tiger Woods believes Rory McIlroy will overcome his……
During his press conference on Tuesday, Tiger Woods expressed his belief in Rory McIlroy’s eventual triumph at Augusta National.
With five Green Jackets under his belt, Woods voiced confidence that McIlroy would one day join the ranks of Masters champions.
McIlroy, who has come close to victory at Augusta on several occasions, faced a notable setback in 2011 when he squandered a four-shot lead in the final round. Despite this, he rebounded strongly to win the U.S. Open later that year.
Since then, McIlroy has claimed victories at prestigious events like the PGA Championship and The Open, but the elusive Green Jacket has remained out of reach.
Woods emphasized McIlroy’s talent and the suitability of the course to his game, suggesting that it’s only a matter of time before he secures a Masters victory.
Despite missing the cut last year, McIlroy has consistently performed well at Augusta, with seven top-10 finishes dating back to 2014.
In preparation for this year’s tournament, McIlroy has increased his playing schedule and sought technical guidance from renowned swing coach Butch Harmon.
Improvements in his wedge and iron play could pave the way for McIlroy to achieve his first Masters win and complete the career Grand Slam, a feat achieved by only five players in history.
McIlroy acknowledged the significance of Woods’ endorsement, recognizing his own potential to achieve greatness in the sport.
While there are no guarantees in golf, McIlroy remains focused on his goal of securing the coveted Green Jacket and etching his name in Masters history.
