Analysis: McIlroy had a blast in New Orleans. It was just what he needed
Associated PressWinning the Ryder Cup might have been more valuable than Rory McIlroy realized. McIlroy called it a “ drunken lunch.” Somewhere along the way, whether it was the wine or the aftermath of Ryder Cup euphoria, he asked Lowry if he wanted to play in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the PGA Tour’s only official team event. A tournament rarely passed the last two years without McIlroy speaking on golf’s most divisive topic, whether he was whipping LIV with a switch or turning around and using it to extend an olive branch. McIlroy said long ago when golf is going well, it’s hard to remember playing poorly; and when golf is going poorly, good golf can seem miles away. “Every time I get to play in front of thousands of people, the little boy in me just thinks it’s so cool and so exciting,” McIlroy said.
