The question posed to Rory McIlroy was fairly benign.
McIlroy has spent much of the last year as the face of the PGA Tour's fight against the challenge of LIV Golf. He was a driving force behind some of the Tour's recent changes, most notably the 17"elevated events" the Tour has designated in order to get the best players in the world together more often. Increased purses and fines for missing these events were put in place in order to ensure the top players would show up.
This is the backstory to the question asked Tuesday as McIlroy preps for the 2023 PGA Championship, which tees off Thursday in upstate New York.For eight seconds, McIlroy stood quietly behind a podium, thinking, before finally answering.He eventually got around to explaining that he's always had"good balance" in his life, that he's got other interests that"keep me occupied and busy. There's no shortage of that.
This is sort of the conundrum of McIlroy's career. Four major victories will put him in the Hall of Fame the day he's eligible. But if that's where he tops out, is his career somewhat of a disappointment? There is no questioning that. None. He is one of the 10 to 15 best golfers to ever play the game. But has he missed the chance to not just be great, but be one of the all-time greats?four majors. Per Bet MGM, he is once again a favorite, behind only world No. 1 Jon Rahm and No. 2 Scottie Scheffler.
