Poor bloke must be sick of these bs press conferences.

[CuddyShoot]

Love the "Happy to be here" quote... a subtle F*** off 😂

[ropedb]

some of these questions are just ignorant

[lt.squinky]

I swear these reporters don’t have ears

[jdf]

Every single reporter asked about golf except for one. I think those reporters were pretty good

[germurphy]

Rorys a legend! We love ya Rors ☘️☘️☘️

[sportsview]

He did well to keep his cool there... Focusing on the Golf as it should be! Go Rors!

[sookkim]

These reporters are something else lol

[neilanderson]

took me ages to figure out the room wasn't full of "Mike's" but rather "Mic's"

Love that he’s working on keeping the strength in the club face which as he says forces him to turn out of the way. It’s key for him as his poor swing is to get stuck and flip. Hope we see the results this week.

Guy seems like he’s mentally free of that detrimental battle axe who was negatively affecting his game. He most likely already has a side that is keeping him in good spirits. He’s in a good spot - look for him to be right there on Sunday as well as the last two majors of the year ⛳️

[mikearon]

He actually had a bad day off the tee today so if he gets that straightened out he could go really low if the greens stay soft

Rory … You, Tiger, and other players should petition to have the questions approved beforehand… that should be standard … these interviews can get annoying for all 🙄😣🤪❤️⛳️

[Lionsraws]

What an inappropriate and disrespectful question! It is not our business ! Let's focus on Golf!

[Paul-lmgv]

*My level of respect for Rory has dropped after Rory filed for divorce from his wife the day after Mother's Day! Really Low Class! A real man doesn't desert his little daughter who doesn't understand when she asks her mother "where's daddy?"*

[ushojedi]

You have to understand the whole premise of journalism is mentally ill. Its to always bring in a negative, it's to create disharmony, to stoke trouble, with an agenda set by an 'editor' who has a boss whose aim is to sell. The idea is that conflict will sell.

[SiLoMixMaster]

It's funny how Rory doesn't want questions about his divorce, yet had no shame in helping Jay Monahan use the victims families of 9/11 to try to publicly shame LIV golf and the players who joined. You reap what you sow. He got off lightly here, if the press had more balls they would have asked tougher questions that they would have asked if it was Phil or Patrick Reed etc.

What about your upcoming Divorce Rory? Nothing but soft ball nothing knew... only Softball questions to Rory and Tiger 🐅 😊
