In the world of golf, Rory McIlroy is a household name, and not just because of his impressive record on the green. Over the past several months, McIlroy has been heavily involved in sports politics, specifically as a vocal opponent of the rival LIV Golf League. However, after missing the cut at the Players Championship, McIlroy says he needs to switch his focus back to the game.

McIlroy’s second round at the Players was interrupted by storms, and he ended up carding a 73, leaving him out of the competition’s final two rounds. While his struggles at TPC Sawgrass were mainly caused by his driver, McIlroy admits that the off-course distractions have taken a toll on him.

McIlroy’s passion for the game of golf has always been evident, and his talent has allowed him to achieve great success on the course. However, his involvement in sports politics has become a significant part of his public persona in recent months. McIlroy has been a vocal opponent of the LIV Golf League, a rival tour that is attempting to lure the sport’s top players away from the PGA Tour.

As a result, McIlroy has found himself front and center in discussions about the future of professional golf. However, after his disappointing performance at the Players Championship, McIlroy has recognized the need to shift his focus back to what matters most: his game.

Despite his passion for sports politics, McIlroy acknowledges that it’s time to shift his focus back to golf. In a post-game interview, he stated, “I’d love to get back to being a golfer again.” He goes on to explain that while the past several months have been busy, now that everything has been announced and the wheels are in motion, things should quiet down.

McIlroy believes that the distractions have affected his time management, making it difficult for him to stay on top of his game. He admits that he has sacrificed the time that he would normally spend preparing for tournaments to focus on other things. However, he’s ready to get back to being purely a golfer and plans to prioritize his training and preparation going forward.
