Rory McIlroy Commits to BMW PGA Championship
The Golf channel anchor reported (via Twitter) that Rory McIlroy will play Augusta National with Tom Brady. Brady, fresh off a Super Bowl XLIX victory, will attempt to beat Peyton Manning's score of 77 from 2013.
Given Brady's track record of outperforming his four-time MVP counterpart, that shouldn't be too difficult a task.
Rory McIlroy Wants to be Golf's Next Superstar
For McIlroy, however, it'll serve as an opportunity to rebound from missing the cut at the Honda Classic, albeit a trivial one. The 25-year-old finished his 2015 PGA Tour debut with two rounds of 73 and 74 at PGA National, something he considers to be a disappointment.
"Sometimes, you need a little kick in the backside to make you realize what you need to do," said McIlroy (via BBC). "I was disappointed, but I feel it has given me clarity on what I needed. I could have approached it two ways: I could have got really down on myself and wondered where that had come from, or thought 'this was the first event after a three-week break and there were things that needed to be sharper.'"
"It was my mum's birthday on the Friday night, so we went out for a nice dinner and then got back to work on Saturday."
Despite McIlroy's poor debut, he remains No. 1 in the world rankings.
