World’s most unlikeable sports star
The way the likes of Spieth and McIlroy have struggled with consistency shows you the incredible feat it was for Tiger to dominate the way he did for so long, he was the ultimate competitor and I miss him and so does the sport, badly. If he was to get another purple patch I’d pay anything to see him compete again
tiger had no problem finding the hole!
Yes Mr FicIlroy, you’ll need to get the finger out, otherwise there’ll be no “Sir Roderick” for you.
Rory’s problems stem from his putting.
the fact that to putt at the top level you have to be straight and true if your not in real life well it just carried to the greens.
Such bullshit. With that logic Tiger shouldn’t have been able to keep the ball on the green never mind be an all time great putter given his off course behaviour during his peak years!!
McIlroy is hard to like and it possibly comes down to the fact that he doesn’t feel comfortable been honest and just saying publicly that he is British and he should just get on with it and good luck to him. Nationality matters and Harrington and Lowry (if he is dodging mosquito’s) will wear the green with pride.
I doubt he gives a toss what you our anyone else thinks about his nationality, nor should he.
Think it’s everyone else that is defining him, getting pissed if he doesn’t pick their side or their absolute version of Irish identity. Some of the people at this have no problem saying “us” and “we” when talking about British soccer teams like Celtic, Liverpool and Man U. Rory has done more for Ireland than most sports stars.
Think his problems have stemmed from his throwing away the tricolour after one of his major wins and then coming out and saying he felt more British than Irish. If he had used his brains and said nothing at all like McDowell, Clarke and even the Jackal he mightn’t have created the identity problems he now seems to have in the eyes of the public over here. Since then he’s found it almost impossible to row back and the Olympic fiasco hasn’t helped either. Now he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. His PR men don’t seem to have been very helpful either. The solution…. Just get on with what he’s paid to do and whatever you say, say nathin.
Missing too many short putts all year long, crusifing his game. Needs to learn how to read greens
