Rory was superb last year and won me some very serious money, I like him and dont blame him at all for taking the NIKE money, BUT, the cost of that healthy bank balance is undoubtably more severe than Rory would have estimated, I am fairly sure the impact of new clubs will be overcome, but only fairly sure as the longer it takes for him to get back the more danger there is that he never gets back, and believe me for all Rory seems calm when interviewd inside he will be close to panic! When you look at his form lately its not just rusty its RUBBISH ! Hate to say it but on all known form at 29.0 this week he must be one of the greatest Open lays ever!

wudnt really call her a pro these days, shes in worse form than him
I think a bit too much is made of how Rory must be really depressed and worried ect, i honestly dont think he cares one bit, lifes good for him and he will win a tournie by the end of the year im sure.

When you et to the top of your sport and money is not a concern its all about achievements, YES he is worried and only the support team around him telling how to take positives from anywhere he can and to keep believing is keeping him relatively calm. When you hear him cooly saying yes my position fine I am only 6 behind the leader going into round two and then he misses the cut you know its all bluster and he at present is in an ugly no mans land that he cant find a way out of !

It's a fair point but you are making the assumption that he places the importance of achievements and his golfing legacy the same as say Tiger, maybe he has just changed his priorites and happy to let his natural talent grab him the few wins he needs and semi coast for the rest of his life.
Or its just a slump, people were saying similar the beginning of last year and the year before.Who knows whats in his head but it can't be as bad as people are saying and that he needs to break up with wozza and do this and that with his management team or lack of.

he is still a kid. they dont hot top form till 30-odd, let him enjoy himself ffs
I dont think Rory is the type to go what I call "Hollywood" ! He wants to be dominant and succesful, if you look at Adam Scott he is the best example of going "Hollywood", he went for around 2-3 years and to the credit of Tigers ex caddy he snapped him out of it and he got back to being a force in the game.
Again you are assuming thats what he wants, maybe all he wants his to spend time with wozza and play the odd bit of golf inbetween tennis matched and charity events, maybe a year or 2 of that he will realise what he's capable of and get back on track.
Not saying you are wrong just that nobody but him has a clue whats in his head.

he has always blown a bit hot and cold, just this cold spell has gone on a bit longer than most. he is the one in the top 10 where the price collapse could be more volatile than any given he already has two majors and any spark of form will cause the layers to panic! Personally I think backing RM @ 28/1 throughout his career you will make money as he will pick up enough tournaments when out of form, and he has always struck me as a player with the game for the open. If i was given a choice between Westwood and RM @ 28s each time then RM would walk it.
think of all the Santander mortgage holders who want the 1% off
For me the most odious golfer of all and that takes some doing. Was always going to be a hyped up flash in the pan because he doesn't listen to anyone unless they are tongueing his rear end out
Greedy tightfisted shocking attitude to fans and girlfriend looks down on both
Nike must be hoping for a nice slur to get out of contract shouldn't be long IMO

Dear Oh Dear... "Hyped up flash in the pan", who has 2 majors under his belt, at a very young age.
You must know the fella personally if you can comment on him not listening to anybody.
I know that the golf forum is desperately in need of more posters, but not this kind of tripe.

The problem with Rory is that he plays badly then bang.......he wins.....plenty brilliantly for a while then goes back to playing badly. His form reminds me of the 'boom and bust' economic policy so beloved by politicians.
Bloke called Gordon told me there is no such thing as "Boom & Bust" !
odious sounds too strong for me also. Has won 2 majors at very young age, both breath taking performances, he doesn't have the single minded nature of woods but who else does. He had a fantastic end to last year and he has at least another 4-6 majors in him for me at a minimum. The change of clubs def appears to have taken some of the edge off but that magic could return as quickly as it appeared to dissipate, he is a bigger price now then the last three opens I believe and you know he has the bottle for it now.
IDK Anything about his Nike deal obviously but i would think its not guaranteed and he would have to win a certain amount of Tourneys get a certain amount of top 10's etc. or he wont get paid full-whack. If it is guaranteed money then rory is a genius and Nike are clowns... I hear the rough is 4 feet high on this course so when you see shoulders and a cap sticking out of the Spinach chances are its Rory
No point in caddy doesn't take the advice. Or the many who said dont change clubs just for money
Didnt he just recently split from woz via the press virtually blaming the poor girl for his decline When it was more likely the other way round. Hes the one who has turned to blubber and would rather be advertising banks than be on the practice ground
Too big for his boots IMO and lets face it he win majors at the same time as Clarke and els hardly a lot if comp
Will never win another tourny

He like Tiger, who I like, not that most of you do... Are bully players. They get on top and you can see the body language. They both have a swagger but when things go wrong, the head goes down... They won`t graft for a win like other players... Phil And Kuch have a great chance this week as long as the wind doesn`t blow a gale & feck it up for all to make it a lottery. Same wind as Castle Stewart would be perfect and make it a real challenge.
The the other mac is the one don't like him as a person either but the better golfer by far played well all year played good last year till blew it. Apparently swinging perfection in practise last few days
Rory has had a poor year no doubt about that. For me he hasn't played enough and when he has he has missed too many cuts. He is a superb talent who can blow the rest away when he gets going. Whether he has the work ethic and commitment to go with his talent is another question. It wouldn't surprise me if he wins one of the years remaining majors.

Tiger won't graft for a win? Is this the same bloke who has won more than 25% of the time he has teed it up on the PGA Tour. The same guy who won a major on a broken leg?

I agree Mighty. Never read such a load of bllx in my life.
I'm not Tiger's greatest fan , but the only time that his head goes down is when he's picking the ball out of the hole.

Indeed !
Have played 108 holes at Muirfield since last Monday. Says state of game is 'promising.' #TheOpen
Rory quote today

Wouldn't expect him to say that he can't hit the side of a barn from 20 yards though would we...
Lots of golf guru's on the forum suddenly...can only mean The Open has arrived.
Form is temporary,class permanent,this new driver will be the answer,fancy a 64 in round 1 by Rory and then turn The Open into a procession.Was 1.4 to make the cut yesterday

Rory this week: Nike's VR_S Covert. Says he'll hit it about 5-7x per round
the stunning
What you say is correct that Rory has class, but for him to come out in the Open and win when he has shown NO signs whatsoever of being anywhere near the game he needs to be competitive is yes possible but very unlikely the chances in relation to decimal odds are in my opinionnearer to 40.0s !

Creases me up. Top British golfer giving an interview the day before the biggest UK tournament of the year, and the press decide to ask him questions about Wayne Rooney 
Problem with Rory is that he is always going to be judged on Tigers impossibly high standards when he was that age
Rory says state of game promising also said still leaking driver most reporter watching say he was spraying all shots Rory also when knee deep yet again announced to one guy he was hitting into the rough cause he would be playing shots from there so needed to get it right
Positive thinking there mate out of contention after 9 holes WILL not make cut IMO. No chance lay of the decade

Why can`t Rory just give the driver a miss this week, unlikely Tiger will be using his as he understands it`s all about plotting your way around. Rory is a long sweet hitter of the ball, he could quite easily just hold back a few yards for accuracy and be in the mix this week.
Dont think the driver will be the club this year . More like a "stinger" type shot being relevant , some of the guys apparently have organised modified 2 irons specifically for this .
He said his new driver is pear shaped just like him
Not a lot pug tried to copy tigers aloof attitude but just a bit early in career to brandish your girlfriend to the press as too clingy sums the arrogant guy up.
Sorry tho guys I thought the big headed **** would have been out of. Contention by nine holes it was 11
As I posted a few times over the last year Nike will be desperate for a slur to get out of contract 75 k a day and the guy can't be bothered to practise
Massive slur by Xmas 1.01

Change of clubs. Can see him and nike parting ways. Surely if he doesn't sort it out by the end of the year they will part company. Both losing out at the moment. Madness to switch clubs given the run he was on last year. I know the money was crazy but surely he must regret doing it now. He won't be able to stomach much more of this. He's playing six of the next seven weeks. If he's playing like this i expect a mystery injury to appear. He's not going to go out and miss cuts. It's gone very badly wrong and Rory needs to sort it out soon as the rest will leave him behind not matter how talented he is.
Humiliating..........he would walk off the course if he hadnt promised not to do it again after the last incident !
I garenutee if Tiger finishes at 8 over he wont get off as lightly by the commentators
rory sold his soul to the world's most evil company, he's getting what he deserves
I only but fake nike because I would rather the mafia get money the nike themselves
I agree Dixie, I lose money on here trough sher greed rory is no differnet.
Great post Dixie.
Don't think he has any morals I said before the star he had been spraying it everywhere in practise and was in complete denial going on about his super new ear shaped driver his swing looks ten mph faster and he don't seem to care to much. Spent so much time at sponsors events in the last year he's not really bothered to sort it out nike paying 75 k a day for him to turn the company into a laughing stock can't be anyone out buying h clubs and balls even his clothes are horrible every time I see him

His new clubs were manufactured by Nike... watching him you would think they were made by fisher-price
a good job he played this morning, this afternoon could have got messy for him
I look forward to seeing how he copes tomorrow

Did Mickelson and Matsuyama get their entry fee refunded for having to play with McGreedy ?

Yes this sums it up. I imagine if Coca Cola had a better deal he would have gone there.
