Rory McIlroy opens up on reasons behind eight-year major drought

Rory McIlroy has opened up on the reasons behind his major drought, which has seen him go eight years without winning one of golf ’s four flagship events. McIlroy’s last major triumph came back in 2014, when he saw off Phil Mickelson by one shot to win the PGA Championship at Valhalla.

After adding to his collection in Kentucky, many tipped the Northern Irishman to challenge the major hauls of the likes of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, especially after joining the illustrious pairing in being the only three players to win four major titles before the age of 25.

Things however have not worked out on the biggest stage for McIlroy, and he has revealed the reason why he feels he hasn’t added to his four titles.
