Rory McIlroy Triumphs at Pebble Beach as PGA Tour’s Bold Plan Pays Off

Rory McIlroy put on a stellar performance at Pebble Beach, securing a crucial victory as the PGA Tour’s latest strategic changes deliver immediate impact. The Northern Irish star, aiming to end his decade-long major drought, has opted for a lighter schedule this season—betting on quality over quantity in his pursuit of a long-awaited fifth major title. With this win, McIlroy gains momentum heading into the season’s biggest tests, proving that his refined approach could be the key to reclaiming golf’s biggest prizes.

That’s one of the most fun back 9’s of golf I’ve watched ages! Chip ins galore, snaking long putts, bombing drives, a wonder shot off the tree roots and the rare sight of a pro running back to the tee to hit another. More of this please!

@Vincent
I watched his whole round yesterday on ESPN+ and it was the most impressive golf I’ve seen since Horschel/Rose absolutely golfed their dicks off at round 3 of the Open.

In crazy tough conditions, Rory was just making par after par after par, grinding over every hole to save par or scrape out a birdie when nearly everyone else was fading. It was engrossing to watch.

@Parker
Forgot how awesome that 3rd round was last year

@Vincent
It’s insane what Rory can do off the tee. What he does off the tee on 18 there at Pebble is just ridiculous.

@Vincent
that Cam Davis shot from the tree roots was fucking crazy

Was at a brewery (Burgeon in Carlsbad) and there was an audible gasp after that shot even though maybe 5% of the place was watching. Crazy fucking shot

I just want him to win at Augusta. Just once.

@Vincent
Dude a 5 wood (?) chip from 30 feet? Insane

And honestly great coverage this week. It’s a reminder of how far away LIV is in terms of the quality of their product.
