Jack Nicklaus Discloses Secrets of Rory McIlroy at the Masters After He Urged Pro to Grow ‘Psychologically’

Heading into the 2025 Masters, Rory McIlroy remains in search of his first major win in over a decade. Although the Irishman has shown impressive form with victories at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and THE PLAYERS Championship, he continues to explore new strategies in his quest for the elusive green jacket. This time, he’s turning to 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus for guidance.

Recently, UnderDogGolf shared a post on X, saying, Jack Nicklaus says he went through Augusta strategy with Rory McIlroy over lunch last week, via @GabbyHerzig.” This year in January, Nicklaus talked about McIlroy and the hurdles he needs to break through. As per him, “What he has to deal with is exactly what you’re talking about, psychologically.”

That’s right, the Golden Bear believes it’s not his game that is holding Rory McIlroy back, but the mental struggles instead.
