McIlroy is out to end his drought at Valhalla – the site of his last major win in 2014.
Rory McIlroy declined to make any comment on his impending divorce as he looks to turn his recent superb form into a long overdue fifth major title.
A spokesperson for McIlroy released a short statement on Tuesday which confirmed the news and “stressed Rory’s desire to ensure this difficult time is as respectful and amicable as possible. He will not be making any further comment”.Members of the media attending McIlroy’s press conference at Valhalla on Wednesday were reminded of that statement and asked to respect McIlroy’s wishes, with a time limit of 10 minutes for questions also imposed.
“I feel good,” McIlroy said. “Obviously had a great day on Sunday at a golf course that I’ve grown to love over the years and had a lot of success at, coming to a venue where I’ve had some success at before as well. “Game feels good coming off the back of two wins, a fun one in New Orleans with Shane and then a really good performance last week. Just trying to keep the momentum going.
McIlroy’s victory in 2014 was followed by one for Australia’s Jason Day 12 months later, but since then the list of winners reads Jimmy Walker, Justin Thomas , Brooks Koepka , Phil Mickelson and Collin Morikawa.Asked why European players had such a poor record in the event, McIlroy said: “If you think of quintessential American golf, I think golf courses that we go to for the PGA Championship are usually somewhat like these.
