Rory: Masters Now The Biggest Tournament, Doesn't Care About The Open Or U.S. Open

The former Champion Golfer of the World may need a food tester at Carnoustie this year, though his comments were clearly made with an understandable bias toward wanting to win the Masters and become a career Grand Slam winner.

From James Corrigan's Telegraph story, with comments made before this week's Wells Fargo Championship.

"I don't care about the US Open or The Open Championship – The Masters is now the biggest tournament in the world, the most amount of eyeballs, the most amount of hype, everything is at Augusta,” he said. “It's the most special tournament we play and it's the one everyone desperately wants to win.”

The story goes on to say that McIlroy's wife had to push him out of the house after suffering an understandable bout of post-final round misery following the 2018 event where he trailed by three heading into the final round.
