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 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.'

Inside St Mirren recruitment plan as "one-man band" hailed amid six signings bid
Manager Stephen Robinson is looking ahead to the new campaign after three successive Premiership top-six finishes. Stephen Robinson is eyeing six new signings for St Mirren this summer. The Buddies boss has outlined his squad-building plan following a third successive Premiership top-six finish. And he paid tribute to the efforts of head of recruitment Martin Foyle who he describes as a 'revelation'. The Northern Irishman insists the former Port Vale goal machine is a one-man band who travels the UK looking for rough diamonds. Robbo will be relying on his spy in the stands more than ever after a number of players moved on from Saints at the end of the season while Richard Taylor and Caolan Boyd-Munce turned down new deals at the SMiSA Stadium. The Paisley club would like to sign keeper Zach Hemming and wing-back Ryan Alebiosu on permanent deals following successful loan spells and have been linked with Jamaica international defender Richard King. And there is plenty more business needing done in other areas of the team. Robbo said: 'We need to sort the goalkeeper situation out. I believe we need another wide player, another centre-forward and another centre-half. Maybe two. 'We'll need to replace Caolan so we're probably looking at five or six players over the summer to bring the squad up to what's been lost. The club's policy is finding boys who are less well known. 'We want to bring boys in who are around 22-23 years who have maybe fallen behind where their talent should allow them to be. There's always something missing for that to be the case. Whether that's desire, fitness levels, whatever it may be. 'There are small points and coaching points you can help with – and you can give boys new motivation. We get a lot of pleasure from that. That's the model. In an ideal world, we'd then sell them on for a lot of money. 'We sign players we believe have a resale value, as well as boys who give us a real experienced, solid base to the team.' Robbo is grateful for what some may regard as Foyle's old-fashioned approach – and gave an insight into how it all comes together behind the scenes. 'Martin has been fantastic,' he said. 'He's been a revelation. He's a one-man band. We don't have any data or analysis. We basically have two Wyscout log-ins in the whole club that we have to fight over to get on and look at players! 'I have to praise Martin and give him so much credit for the relative success we've had. People sometimes use the term 'old school' like it's a bad thing. But there's a lot of old things that are still very, very good in this modern world. 'We don't have the finances to use the data analysis that Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs are using. We don't have Tony Bloom putting £10 million into the football club. 'We have one scout. We do not have any other full-time scouts other than Martin. So, he has to go to every game. He has to eat in service stations every day on his travels. Most of my conversations with him are when he's charging up his car! 'He gets no help from anyone, really. We've got one guy in Australia who helps us out with bits and pieces who essentially does it for expenses. Other than that, it's Martin putting players to us and us making those decisions.'
