Rory McIlroy Seeks Career Grand Slam at The Masters: Butch Harmon’s Insights and Expectations

Rory McIlroy is gearing up for The Masters with the hopes of ending his major drought and completing the career Grand Slam, and renowned coach Butch Harmon believes the key for McIlroy is to relax and play golf.

McIlroy, who last won a major in 2014, sought out Harmon for a lesson last month in Las Vegas, focusing on improving his approach play and swing changes. Harmon, who has worked with McIlroy multiple times throughout his career, is confident in McIlroy’s abilities and believes he has what it takes to challenge for the Green Jacket at Augusta National.

Speaking on the Sky Sports Golf Podcast, Harmon emphasized the importance of McIlroy staying true to himself and playing with confidence. With six top-10 finishes at Augusta National in the past decade, McIlroy has shown his potential at the prestigious event and is eager to make a strong showing this year.

On the other hand, World No 1 Scottie Scheffler is coming into The Masters as the favorite, having won multiple tournaments in recent months. Harmon acknowledges the pressure on Scheffler as the man to beat but believes in his ability to handle the expectations and perform well at Augusta.
