Rory McIlroy annoyed over driver disclosure at US PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy has admitted being “pissed off” and “annoyed” after news of a forced driver change leaked during the US PGA Championship last month. McIlroy had to switch heads early in the week at Quail Hollow after his driver was deemed non-conforming by a United States Golf Association test.

The scenario is perfectly common – when club faces become too springy through overuse – and also happened to the eventual champion Scottie Scheffler. I didn’t tee off until almost 2 in the afternoon, another late finish, was just tired, wanted to go home. I felt that process is supposed to be kept confidential and it wasn’t for whatever reason.

Lost in this melee was that McIlroy’s driving accuracy statistics were decidedly poor at Augusta National and the month previously, when he won the Players Championship. I thought it was a good time to reset some goals.
