‘It was supposed to stay confidential' – Rory McIlroy ‘p***ed off' after private information is leaked
RORY McILROY was 'p***ed off' that news of his driver failing technical standards was leaked at last month's USPGA Championship. Two days before the tournament, the club was pulled from his bag after official testing showed it crossed the 'trampoline effect' threshold — when the club face becomes more springy. 2 Rory McIlroy admitted he was frustrated that news of his driver failing a technical test was leaked Credit: Getty 2 Scottie Scheffler's driver also failed Credit: Getty Failures are supposed to be confidential with no blame attached to the player but the news broke on the Friday evening. World No 1 Masters champ Ahead of teeing up in the Canadian Open, which starts today, the Northern Irishman said: 'I was a little p***ed off because I knew that Scottie's driver had failed but my name was the one that was leaked. It was supposed to stay confidential. READ MORE ON GOLF 'I didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted, either, because I'm trying to protect Scottie, I don't want to mention his name.' He went on to add: "I'm 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. "With Scottie's stuff, that's not my information to share. I knew that that had happened, but that's not on me to share that, and I felt that process is supposed to be kept confidential, and it wasn't for whatever reason. That's why I was pretty annoyed at that. "From a responsibility standpoint, look, I understand, but if we all wanted to, we could all bypass you guys and we could just go on this and we could go on social media and we could talk about our round and do it our own way.

So I understand that. "But again, I've been beating this drum for a long time. If they want to make it mandatory, that's fine, but in our rules it says that it's not, and until the day that that's maybe written into the regulations, you're going to have guys skip from time to time, and that's well within our rights."

Michael Schumacher's former F1 boss gives heartbreaking update on his condition
Michael Schumacher's ex-Formula One boss has provided a heart-wrenching new insight into the racing icon's condition, nearly 12 years after the skiing accident that altered his life forever. The F1 superstar was gravely injured after striking his head on a rock whilst skiing in the French Alps in December 2013, resulting in him being placed in a medically induced coma for several months. He returned to his Lake Geneva home the following year but continues to require constant medical attention from a team of professionals and his wife Corinna. Since the accident, Corinna has fiercely guarded Schumacher's privacy, with only a select group of trusted family members and friends permitted to visit him and be privy to the intimate details of his condition. Last year, it was widely reported that the German star made his first public appearance in over a year by attending his daughter Gina-Marie's wedding at the family's villa in Majorca. Guests were reportedly asked to leave their mobile phones at the door to prevent any unauthorised photos of Schumacher from being taken. Now, former Benetton chief Flavio Briatore, who formed a close bond with Schumacher when the legendary driver clinched his first two titles consecutively for the team, has offered a fresh insight into his friend's condition, reports Wales Online. Seemingly confirming that Schumacher is bed-bound, Briatore stated he prefers to recall the joyful memories he shared with the 56 year old, rather than dwell on his current state. '"If I close my eyes, I see him smiling after a victory," he shared with Corriere della Sera. "I prefer to remember him like that rather than him just lying on a bed. Corinna and I talk often, though.' Briatore's update follows F1 reporter Felix Gorner's revelation in March, who is close to Schumacher's family, that the seven-time world champion can no longer communicate verbally." The situation is very sad," he expressed. "He needs constant care and is completely dependent on his caregivers. And he can no longer express himself verbally. "Currently, there's a maximum of 20 people who can approach Michael. And, in my opinion, it's the right strategy. Because the family is acting in Michael's best interests. They've always strictly protected his privacy, and that hasn't changed." During a 2021 Netflix documentary about Schumacher's life, his son Mick revealed he and his father "understand each other now in a different way," while Corinna stated that her husband was "different, but here".There were positive signs in April when Schumacher signed a special helmet worn by Sir Jackie Stewart, which was auctioned off for charity. Johnny Herbert, who was Schumacher's teammate at Benetton in the 1990s, described the signature as an 'emotional' moment and hoped that it was a sign that the legendary driver was "on the mend". "It's wonderful news that Michael Schumacher signed Jackie Stewart's helmet," Herbert told FastSlots. "It was a wonderful moment. We haven't seen something emotional like this in years, and hopefully, it's a sign."
