It’s no secret Rory McIlroy has been on a bit of a skid. After finishing runner-up to Kurt Kitayama at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, the Northern Irishman missed the cut at both the Players and Masters. He did take down Scottie Scheffler to earn himself the bronze medal at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play after missing the weekend in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, but his results have been a mixed bag all of 2023.
A few weeks ago in Charlotte, McIlroy tied for 47th, a substandard finish for a man that has dominated Quail Hollow and the Wells Fargo Championship for most of his career — McIlroy’s won the event three times.
