Golf Journalist Doesn’t Spare Rory McIlroy Over His Poor Treatment of Reporters at PGA Championship

Well, for instance, he didn’t speak to the media for the fourth consecutive day. The problem began with his score of 1-over-par 72 during the bright, sunny late morning at Quail Hollow for the Sunday round. Before anyone could even raise their microphones to ask him the necessary questions about the latest issues, including the driver controversy, his body language revealed his mood.

However, his behavior after delivering his worst performance at the PGA Championship in nine years didn’t sit well with fans, especially Michael McEwan, who said, “Really poor form for Rory to skip media all four days at the PGA. Other (and, dare I say it, less popular) players get grief for passing after one round. But all four? Not a good look.”

However, now supported by fans in his criticism, McEwan continued, “They all profit from the world that Tiger (largely) built for them but when it comes to doing the simple things that he seldom missed, like speaking to the media, they all fall well short.”

Needless to say, Rory McIlroy has a lot to answer for the next time he speaks with the media.

This is a developing story…
