Rory McIlroy Seeks Counsel of Butch Harmon Ahead of The Masters

Rory McIlroy is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to complete the career Grand Slam by winning The Masters this month. The Northern Irishman has sought the expertise of Butch Harmon, Tiger Woods’ former coach, in a bid to fine-tune his game ahead of the prestigious major tournament.

McIlroy, who will be making his 10th appearance at Augusta National, is looking to join an elite group of golfers who have won all four major championships. With seven top-10 finishes at The Masters but also two missed cuts in the past three years, McIlroy is determined to make this year his breakthrough.

Speaking about his experience with Harmon on the ‘I Can Fly’ podcast, McIlroy expressed his admiration for the renowned coach, stating, “The one thing with Butch is when you go and spend time with him, you’re always going to feel better about yourself at the end of it.” McIlroy also highlighted the valuable insights he gained from Harmon during their recent session in Vegas.

Despite facing some challenges with his game in recent months, McIlroy remains optimistic about his chances at The Masters. He believes that the work he has put in with Harmon and his coach Michael Bannon will pay off, and he is eager to showcase his improved skills on the course.
