“We got Rory, and this course is perfect for him. You know what, I’m not picking him. I’m done picking Rory because it always burns me in the end.” These were the exact words from Paige Spiranac back in May 2024. She had just watched Rory McIlroy run out of contention for the PGA Championship. And after so many years of believing that he is close to winning another major, Spiranac seems to have finally had enough, or so she thought.
Yes, McIlroy didn’t win the 2024 PGA Championship. He came even closer to capturing the U.S. Open title a month later. But he blundered that as well on the final day, losing by 1 stroke. But that was 2024. It’s only the March of 2025 and Rory McIlroy has already done the unthinkable. For the first time in his glorious career, the Irishman has won 2 PGA Tour events before the month of April. Before his visit to Augusta National. Before competing in the Masters Tournament.
Amazed by the excellent strokeplay and the confidence on the course, Paige Spiranac has decided to come back on board the McIlroy train! Just like many of his loyal fans, Spiranac also wants the now 28x PGA Tour winner to become a grand slam champion. And that is what she shared in her latest tweet. Spiranac said “Rory to win The Masters. I know but really this year is the year it’s happening,” starting a chain of hope again. Hope that has been destroyed many times in the past by McIlroy himself. But something about him is different this year.
As McIlroy himself admitted he is a much better version of himself than he was a few years ago. He said so in the post-win interview at TPC Sawgrass. Hopefully, that translates to his first Masters Tournament win this year.
This is a developing story…
