Rory McIlroy admits struggling for motivation after legacy-defining Masters success as he reveals 'reset' ahead of US Open
Rory McIlroy has admitted to struggling for motivation since his legacy-defining win at the Masters in April. Having finally completed the full set of major titles at Augusta, the world No 2 finished a disappointing 47th at the PGA Championship last month and has now spoken about the come-down from his career high. Speaking at the Canadian Open, where he is defending his title ahead of next week's US Open, McIlroy said: 'The last few weeks I've had a couple weeks off, and grinding on the range for three or four hours every day is maybe a little tougher than it used to be. 'You have this event in your life that you've worked towards and it happens, sometimes it's hard to find the motivation to get back on the horse and go again.' The five-time major winner added: 'I think the last two weeks have been good for me just as a reset, just to sort of figure out where I'm at in my own head, what I want to do, where I want to play. 'I thought it was a good time to reset some goals. I've had a pretty good first half of the season, and I want to have a good second half of the season now, too.'

Bryson DeChambeau: LIV move led to massive influencer role
June 4 - Bryson DeChambeau discussed his "fun side quests" on Wednesday as he prepared to return to his day job and start gearing up for the upcoming U.S. Open. Since tying for second at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow last month, the two-time major winner's busy calendar has included a lap around the track at the Indianapolis 500 and hitting golf balls with President Donald J. Trump on the White House lawn. DeChambeau, 31, acknowledged that playing the limited schedule of LIV Golf events has given him more time to expand his role as an influencer -- he has more than 2 million YouTube subscribers -- and also experience more of what life has to offer. "I think LIV afforded me the opportunity to spend more time thinking, strategizing, getting my body healthy, ready for majors in a pretty unique way," he said Wednesday. "For me, it was a great thing. I thought there was an opportunity to do other things in life, and look, do I want to win every single tournament I show up to? 100 percent." DeChambeau met with reporters at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., where the LIV Golf Virginia event begins Friday. It will be the Saudi-funded league's first event since DeChambeau won the LIV Golf Korea title on May 4. "Hitting in the White House was incredibly special," DeChambeau said. "I never thought I would ever in my life get an opportunity to do it, but the President himself was like, 'Just go out there and hit some shots.' I was like, 'Okay, yes, sir.' It was quite the experience. It was 105 yards and I hit a few good shots to a couple feet and almost made a few of them, too." DeChambeau, who won U.S. Open titles in 2020 and 2024, said that he was inspired by influencers and YouTube pioneers like MrBeast and Dude Perfect. "I said, 'Why can't I do that, as well?'" he said. "I think there's an opportunity to be as influential as I am now, and this was just the beginning. I think there's a lot more to come. "I hope that's a positive force for the game of golf because that was my initiative with the game of golf is that, yeah, I want to win a lot of tournaments, but how can I make a greater impact, as well, than by just winning golf tournaments?" The Crushers GC captain said he considers himself a competitor and an entertainer -- "two things that I love doing." "Now that I've got a couple million followers on YouTube, I'm incredibly grateful. There's no other words about it. Did I ever think it would get this big? I had no clue. I really had no idea," he said. "Is it now an incredible responsibility? Yes. And I understand that. I want to continue to entertain my fans and also continue to play the great game of golf that we all love at the highest level." --Field Level Media

Scottie Scheffler accuses Amanda Balionis of making him 'emotional' during interview
World No 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler has accused broadcaster Amanda Balionis of making him 'emotional' during an interview when he was asked about the support of his wife while he is on the links. Balionis got a word with Scheffler seconds after he secured the victory at The Memorial, not far from the green on hole 18. The golf host asked Scheffler about his wife Meredith's support, while he held his 1-year-old son Bennett in his arms. 'You're really trying to make me emotional now,' Scheffler said to Balionis. 'I mean, my wife is my biggest supporter. She's my best friend, and this is our life out here on the road.' It's been a lot of fun and I've had some special memories at this tournament. Yeah, definitely couldn't do it without her.' The Memorial is hosted by arguably the best golfer of all-time, Jack Nicklaus, with Balionis asking the question in reference to the wife of 'The Golden Bear', Barbara Nicklaus. An emotional Scottie Scheffler speaks with Amanda Balionis following his @MemorialGolf win 😊 — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) June 1, 2025 'Watching you and Meredith and Bennett, it makes me think, we've been talking about Barbara Nicklaus all week this week and how she made so much of Jack's career possible with her support,' Balionis said. 'Talk about what this balance looks like and the support Meredith provides that allows you to be the best father and husband you can be while also being the No 1player in the world.' The interview was seconds after Scheffler got to hug Meredith and Bennett after the win became official. On camera, Meredith admitted to her golfing husband that their son pooped on his back and she stuck around to congratulate her partner before finding a new diaper. Scheffler is less than a month removed from his PGA Championship win at Quail Hollow, his third major victory. He was in the news for his time in North Carolina on Wednesday, as Rory McIlroy spoke out on the leak of testing drivers that involved both men. 'Two members of the media were the ones that leaked it. Again, I didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted, either, because there's a lot of people that I'm trying to protect,' McIlroy said before the start of the Canadian Open. 'Scottie - I don't want to mention his name. I'm also trying to protect TaylorMade. I'm trying to protect the USGA, PGA of America, myself. I just didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted at the time.'
