Rory McIlroy finally getting over the hump and winning the Grand Slam by claiming his first Masters title last month was a triumph celebrated across the golfing world, though Bryson DeChambeau indicated he wasn't happy with how the Northern Irishman conducted himself at Augusta.

Jordan Spieth has been trying to complete the career Grand Slam at the PGA Championship since 2017, the last time it was at Quail Hollow. He hasn’t finished closer than six shots.

Rory McIlroy has no plans to “burden” himself with victory targets and is determined to enjoy achieving everything he dreamed of following his memorable Masters triumph.

Other players through time have shown particular fondness and abilities on returning to winning venues. Jack Nicklaus, the Golden Bear himself, won six times at Augusta National. Phil Mickelson won five times at Pebble Beach. Ben Hogan won five times at Colonial. You get the drift. But such rarefied air is found only by the greats of the game.

Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll are once again in the news, but this time there is nothing but good vibes for the couple. After a bumpy 2024, the couple have reconciled, and Stoll is once again a regular at PGA Tour events.

The A.W. Tillinghast course is a jewel from golf's Golden Age. Rory loves it, but has a hot take on what could make it even better.
