McIlroy to play in Houston Open before Masters... returns after 11 years

Blog Article

Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) will play at the Texas Children's Houston Open on the PGA Tour to boost his sense of play ahead of the Masters, the first major golf tournament of the season.

The tournament's organizing committee announced on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that McIlroy will participate in the tournament, which will be held at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas, for four days from the 28th.

This match is a suitable schedule to achieve both goals: coordinating the sense of play in preparation for the Masters and accumulating physical strength through sufficient rest.

McIlroy, who won the Players Championship on the 17th, decided to participate in the Houston Open after thinking about skipping all three remaining competitions or participating only once until the Masters.

McIlroy had participated in the championship four times until 2014, but failed to display good performance. His best performance was tied for seventh in 2014, failed to make the cut in 2011, and tied for 45th in 2013. He is thus returning to the championship for the first time in 11 years.

McIlroy, who has already won the U.S. Open, PGA Championship, and D-Open more than once, will achieve a career Grand Slam when he wins the Masters.

McIlroy, who is already No. 1 in the FedEx Cup rankings with two wins this season, is more eager than ever to win the Masters. 먹튀검증
