Tiger Woods reportedly feels betrayed by remarks from his former coach.

Golf maestro Butch Harmon extends his expertise to Rory McIlroy as the world No. 2 primes himself for another attempt at clinching the career Grand Slam at the Masters. Harmon, renowned for his coaching prowess with former protege Tiger Woods, underlines McIlroy’s exceptional talent, affirming his status as one of the game’s premier players.

McIlroy, grappling with a form slump with almost a decade since his last Major triumph, sought Harmon’s counsel in a comprehensive four-hour session in Las Vegas ahead of the Masters. The Northern Irish star commended Harmon not only for his golf acumen but also his psychological insights, particularly focusing on bolstering short-iron play and devising strategies tailored for Augusta.

Harmon advocates for McIlroy to find relaxation and joy in his game, encouraging him to trust his abilities and embrace each shot. Despite the mounting pressure, particularly in his pursuit of completing the career Grand Slam, Harmon underscores the importance of McIlroy staying true to himself on the course.

Recognizing McIlroy’s stellar performance off the tee this season, Harmon pinpoints the area necessitating improvement—approaches to the green. Together, they refine McIlroy’s swing, aiming for enhanced control and consistency, especially with mid-irons and wedges.

McIlroy, with a longstanding association with Harmon dating back to his teenage years, recently concluded practice rounds at Augusta in meticulous preparation for the upcoming tournament. Harmon’s sage guidance coupled with McIlroy’s unwavering commitment forms the cornerstone of his quest to capture the elusive Green Jacket.
