After being cut off at the knees when Jay Monahan quite surprisingly went on television with the head of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, to announce what was perceived then to be a “merger” between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, Rory McIlroy quit his role as the establishment’s pseudo-spokesman in the great pro golf imbroglio of our times. And it’s looked like the outlook has agreed with him since. The man looks like he’s free. 9 Apr 2025

Hits and memories of Rory at Augusta

He’s missed the cut (three times), he’s led after three rounds, he’s notched four top-5s and eight top-10s. There were years he was never really in it, others when he most certainly was.

Cleary: Horror movie, right there on my TV: Greg Norman's Masters of 1996

The Masters at Augusta National is special because the course can tell stories. Glorious ones, compelling ones. There's been happiness, hubris and horror shows. And then there is Greg Norman in 1996, which nearly 30 years on remains borderline unwatchable. 7 Apr 2025
