When it comes to golf, I have always had an irrational hatred towards Tiger Woods. He comes across as a thoroughly unpleasant person to have a round of golf with, and his Ryder Cup showings prove that he is no team player. But now his time has passed, and my irrational hatred has switched to another golfer. Rory McIlroy. Can't stand the guy - especially for his hypocrisy. Criticizing the LIV golf series when he jollies it up with Donald Trump. And what you hear about his personal relationships does not paint a flattering profile of the kind of person he is e.g. breaking up with Caroline Wozniacki via a brief phone call and no subsequent contact. I'm no fan of the fact that despite being British he chose to represent Ireland in the Olympics. I enjoy seeing his sour puss when he is having a bad round, and I hope he never wins another major.
I profess to having a similar (if slightly little less vitriolic) view of McIlroy. Up his own arse IMHO.
ReplyDeleteWoods maybe an unpleasant person, but he was undeniably era-definingly briilliant. A player who raises the bar of everyone else if they require to compete (think Phil Taylor or Stephen Hendry).
ReplyDeleteMcIlroy simply isn't.
