When is Rory McIlroy playing at the PGA Championship? New tee times and groupings after severe weather delays
The Northern Irishman - who has also won at both the Players Championship and Pebble Beach Pro-Am so far this year - squeezed marginally under the cut line at the 107th PGA Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, struggling to a first-round 74 before scraping through despite two closing bogeys in a 69 on Friday leaving him one over par for the tournament.

I dream of stepping back out at Ibrox as Rangers manager – I'm gutted I never got a proper goodbye, says cult hero
HE didn't get chance to say a proper goodbye to Rangers fans as a player. But Steven Davis is already dreaming of saying hello to them again - as their boss. 4 Steven Davis spent a total of eight years at Rangers from 2008-2012 and 2019-2023 Credit: Getty 4 Davis was injured at the time of his departure and couldn't say a proper goodbye to Gers fans Credit: Willie Vass 4 Now a coach, the Northern Irishman dreams of one day managing Rangers Credit: Alamy A freak training ground injury meant Davis had been crocked for five months when his Ibrox deal ran out in the summer of 2023. But that October he was quickly summoned back to take temporary charge following Michael Beale's axing. Davis' reign only lasted two games but it convinced him he wanted to be a manager one day. Talk of a quick return to Gers as a coach under Steven Gerrard this summer never came to anything. But Michael O'Neill has added the 140-capped ace to his Northern Ireland backroom staff. Davis - four times a league winner at Rangers - knows he's still got so much to learn in the dugout and is right behind Russell Martin's appointment. But he admits he would love to get the chance to spend longer in the Gers hotseat one day. Davis, 40, said: "In an ideal world, I'd like to have said my goodbyes in a different way and having that decision as my own but that was taken away from me. "I've got over it, you try to put a different spin on it. "I was very fortunate throughout my career not to have major injuries which allowed me to play to the level I did until the age I was. SunSport reporters clash over Russell Martin as he's revealed as new Rangers boss "I tried to get back but I never felt I'd get back to a level I'd be happy with. "Ultimately the decision was made and I was at peace with that. "It would have been lovely to have a send-off on the pitch rather than do it on the sidelines. "This spell I was getting a lot of messages and everybody thought it was a foregone conclusion that I was coming back. "There was never any contact but that's the rumour mill, isn't it? "Obviously the club means so much to me, I've got great memories from my time there. "It's hard to envisage I'll not be back at some point but you just never know. 'I'd like to assume that will be the case but at this minute that's not an option so we'll see what the future holds. "Is that still in the dream, though? Yeah, 100%, it's the same as when I was a kid. "I grew up a Rangers fan and wanted to play for the club. "The ambition was to make just one appearance, my career involved much more with the club than I could have ever have envisaged. "But at this minute I'm starting my journey as a coach. 4 "I've been involved with Michael and the Northern Ireland team, which has been really good for me. "I'm doing my badges as well so that's just part of the process. "Ultimately, one day it would be great to step back into Ibrox as manager." If he does he insists that whirlwind spell when he oversaw a Europa League loss to Aris Limassol and a league win over St Mirren will stand him in good stead. He said: "That was hug, just to get the opportunity to be put in that position was something you could never refuse. "It wasn't in my mind at that time, I was fully focused on rehabbing and trying to get back to play and that was my only focus. "It came out the blue and it was an opportunity I absolutely loved. "It whetted the appetite in many ways, it gives you a taste of what the other side's like and it's totally different. "As a player you have a feeling of what management and coaching will be like but you don't get a full grasp until you're really in it and see it. "Things like the detail that goes into the preparation for everything. "It was a really valuable experience for me and hopefully something I can carry with me going forward. "With the speed it happened, do I look back and wonder how I coped with it? In many ways that was probably a blessing. "I was thrown in at the deep end so I just had to go with it, I tried to give it my all during the time I was there. "It was only short-lived but it was an incredible experience to have. "Around the club at that point there was a lot of negativity so I tried to go in and be positive. "We only had the two games before the international break then Philippe Clement came in, but it was really invaluable for me." Russell Martin admits he didn't do himself justice during a six-month loan spell at Ibrox in 2018. But Davis thinks the insight he got into the club and the Old Firm goldfish bowl will be invaluable now he's back. He added: "In general it's very hard to speak about Rangers and Celtic until you actually experience it yourself. "There's the pressure that comes with it, the demands, living in the city. "Even from a recruitment basis it's hard when you're going through that process of signing players to put that across until you actually live it and experience it on a daily basis. "When you go to the club you have to embrace that, you have to enjoy that side of things. "If you don't it can sort of swallow you up a bit, we've seen that happen over the years. "Thankfully, in the positive, Russell's got that experience - he only had it for a short period but he can bring that knowledge with him. "He knows what he's stepping into, I think that'll really benefit him going into the job." Davis was speaking as he helped promote Ten Years On - a celebratory event in May 2026 at Belfast's Ulster Hall to mark the anniversary of Northern Ireland's Euro 2016 campaign.

US Open food and drink prices confirmed as fans fume at eye-watering costs
The US Open gets underway on Thursday, with Rory McIlroy bidding to win his second major of the year, but supporters' attention has been drawn to the price of the menu in Pennsylvania Golf fans have been left flabbergasted after the food and drink prices for the US Open were revealed. The third major of the year tees off on Thursday, with Rory McIlroy gunning for his second win of the year. McIlroy finally completed the career Grand Slam by triumphing in the Masters at Augusta back in April. The Northern Irishman will face competition from American Bryson DeChambeau, who is looking to retain his US Open title. A third man in the running is Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship in May and will tee off as the bookies' favourite in Pennsylvania. Upwards of 200,000 people expected to attend the event at Oakmont Country Club. And supporters have been left furious after the course's food and drinks menu was released. A Philly cheesesteak is the heftiest meal on the menu - costing $13.95 (£10.33) - while crisps are $3.49 (£2.58). A single Corona will cost $11.95 (£8.85), while even a bottle of water is $4.95 (£3.66). An 'All Beef Hotdog' will set fans back $7.59 (£5.63), while an 'Asiago Turkey Sandwich' will cost $12.25 (£9.08). The most expensive drink on the menu is also the 'Official Cocktail of the US Open' - a canned lemon wedge by Dewar's. That will cost $13.95 (10.34), the saw as a Black Cherry Seltzer. What really astonished fans though was the price of a banana, which will cost $1.95 (£1.44). One fumed: "$1.98 for a banana??? I'm taking my business elsewhere!" Another said: "$1.95 for a banana is outrageous." While a third added: "Menu prices seem disconnected from the average attendee's budget." A fourth raged: "$7.50 for a hot dog is ridiculous especially when they ran out yesterday. During the Monday practice round. Good luck this weekend." It's far cry from Augusta National and the Masters where patrons are still able to tuck into food and drink for very reasonable prices. Fans walking the famous course in Georgia were able to get a sandwich from as cheap as $1.50, while a beer was priced at just $6. McIlroy was victorious at Augusta, but has admitted being concerned about his form after missing the cut at the Canadian Open. The world No.2 shot a dismal second-round 78 last Friday, with McIlroy admitting he is struggling to turn things around. 'Of course it concerns me. You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today,' McIlroy said on the PGA website. 'I felt like I came here with a new driver thinking that was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn't. 'Going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways. Still searching for the missing piece off the tee. When I get that part of the game clicking, then everything falls into place for me. Right now that isn't.'

I need to get my stuff together – Rory McIlroy out to end Masters hangover
He tied for 47th at the PGA Championship last month, where he suffered drama when his driver was found to be non-conforming, while he missed the cut at the Canadian Open last week as his struggles off the tee continued. The Northern Irishman has cut himself some slack given his monumental achievement at the Masters. However, ahead of the US Open at unforgiving Oakmont this week, he knows he has to get his head back in the game. Asked if he knew how tough it would be to regain his motivation, he said: 'I didn't know. Look, you dream about the final putt going in at the Masters, but you don't think about what comes next. 'I think I've always been a player who struggles to play after a big event, after I win whatever tournament. 'I always struggle to show up with motivation the next week because you've just accomplished something and you want to enjoy it and you want to sort of relish the fact that you've achieved a goal. 'I think chasing a certain goal for the better part of a decade and a half, I think I'm allowed a little bit of time to relax a little bit. An Irish stroll around Oakmont. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 10, 2025 'I think it's trying to have a little bit of amnesia and forget about what happened six weeks ago. Then just trying to find the motivation to go back out there and work as hard as I've been working. 'But at the same time, you have to enjoy what you've just accomplished. I certainly feel like I'm still doing that and I will continue to do that. 'At some point, you have to realise that there's a little bit more golf left to play this season: here, Portrush (the Open), Ryder Cup, so those are obviously the three big things that I'm sort of looking at for the rest of the year. 'I sort of need to get my stuff together here and get back to the process of what I'd been doing for that seven months from October last year until April this year.' McIlroy is trying to overcome driver issues (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press via AP) After missing the cut in Toronto last week, McIlroy said he had 'concerns' about his driving coming into a tournament where hitting the fairways will be key to success. The 2011 US Open champion, who has finished second in the tournament in each of the last two years, spent the weekend practising with a new driver and says he is feeling more confident. 'I feel like, as the last few weeks go, I think I learnt a lot on Thursday and Friday last week and did a good bit of practice at home and feel like I'm in a better place with everything going into this week,' he said. Asked what information he had gleaned, he quipped: 'I learned that I wasn't using the right driver.'
