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.

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.'

Rory McIlroy sent brutal 7-word response to Bryson DeChambeau after Masters row
Rory McIlroy was paired with Bryson DeChambeau for the final round at Augusta, but the Northern Irishman refused to speak to the American as he focused on his own game Rory McIlroy will be back in Major game mode when he takes to the first tee at Oakmont Country Club for the US Open this weekend. McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam of Majors by winning the Masters in April and is aiming for another success in Pennsylvania. The Northern Irishman's dramatic triumph in Augusta earlier this year contained an interesting sub-plot involving American star Bryson DeChambeau. McIlroy was paired with DeChambeau during the final round at Augusta and eyebrows were raised when the American revealed that the champion 'didn't talk to me once all day.' DeChambeau sounded hurt by the snubbing, which hinted at a falling out between two of the sport's biggest stars. But speaking at Quail Hollow, ahead of the PGA Championship, McIlroy brushed off any criticism that had come his way. 'I don't know what he was expecting," he said bluntly. "We're trying to win the Masters. I'm not going to try to be his best mate out there. 'Look, everyone approaches the game in different ways. Yeah, like I was focused on myself and what I needed to do. That's really all that it was. It wasn't anything against him or against – it's just I felt that's what I needed to do to try to get the best out of myself that day.' DeChambeau has also tried to dampen any talk of a beef. Speaking in April, he said: "He was just being stoic the whole day; there was nothing more. I was like, he just didn't talk to me. It wasn't a slight; there's no beef or anything. "It was like what Tiger [Woods] did to Tony [Finau back in 2019]. It's the same combo, but it wasn't meant to be in a bad way, and that's how things happen. I wish people would not interpret things, but, you know, people will do that." McIlroy may have banished his Grand Slam demons at Augusta earlier this year, but he arrives at Oakmont in a tricky place. A change of driver has caused some issues for the 36-year-old, who missed the cut at the Canadian Open after struggling to find the fairway. 'Of course it concerns me. You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today," he said in Toronto. "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.' He added: 'Even though the last two days didn't go the way I wanted them to, there's still things I can take from it and still things I can learn. I'm going to have to do a lot of practice, a lot of work over the weekend at home and try to at least have a better idea of where my game is going into next week.'
