I live on a golf course and it’s so easy to just go out there at 7 pm and hit a few balls. So I think being able to just get away from it and give yourself that free headspace of not thinking about golf is a good thing. I’m committed to having more fun going forward.Rory Mcilroy said
Rory Mcilroy admitted that he hasn’t truly enjoyed his success in the last five years, mentioning he hasn’t taken a vacation in about four or five years. Rory emphasized the importance of stepping back from golf and finding enjoyment away from the course.

During the 2024 U.S. Open, McIlroy staged a comeback in the final round to take a two-stroke lead over Bryson DeChambeau. However, he bogeyed three of the final four holes, missing putts within four feet on both the 16th and 18th holes, extending his major championship drought to ten years.
McIlroy has won four major tournaments so far in his career, making him one of the greatest players of his age. He has also won 28 professional events worldwide, with 18 on the PGA Tour and 10 on the European Tour.
