Rory McIlroy takes unusual step to end major drought at Masters despite £16m-a-year deal

Rory McIlroy has reportedly made a huge equipment change ahead of the upcoming Masters Tournament, in a bid to end his nine-year drought for a major championship.

Despite cementing himself as one of the sport's top players in recent years, McIlroy is without a major triumph since his victory at the PGA Championship in 2014. Since then, the Northern Irishman has endured a number of near misses, including most recently at last summer's Open Championship.

With McIlroy playing some of the best golf of his career over the past year, excitement is once again building that this wait could be coming to an end, with this year's Masters less than a month away.
