Rory McIlroy Returning To Harbour Town With More Eyeballs Than Ever
5 months agoPerhaps it's because of the fine he received for skipping this event last season, or maybe because of the rumors swirling since leaving Augusta National on Sunday that the once-staunch critic of LIV Golf was in talks to join the rival league. Either way, Rory McIlroy comes to this week's RBC Heritage with just as many questions off the golf course, as on it. From a ball-striking perspective, he is still as deadly as ever; gaining an average of 1.17 strokes on approach over his last three events. Though his strokes gained off the tee have slightly simmered since the start of the year. McIlroy's issues now are the same as they have been, which is his ability to make putts when it matters and to play smart enough golf to get him there. Success at Harbour Town usually demands both of those things, so for that reason, it's best to keep interest light for the Northern Irishman this week.
