Concerning Rory McIlroy News Emerges Ahead of U.S. Open
Concerning Rory McIlroy News Emerges Ahead of U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The U.S. Open 2025 is one of the most anticipated majors of the year, set to begin on Thursday, June 12, at the iconic Oakmont Country Club. Known for its brutal, rough and fast greens, Oakmont promises a real test for the world's best golfers. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines the field, with other big names like Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy ready to compete for glory. Advertisement But just days before the tournament, worrying news has surfaced around McIlroy. According to sources Kira Dixon, McIlroy has been undergoing extensive driver testing following a missed cut at the RBC Canadian Open. He had switched to a shorter driver in Canada but hit only 46% of fairways. Now, he's moved back to the TaylorMade Qi10, the model he used before experimenting with the Qi35. Rory Mcilroy watches his tee shot on the third hole during the second round of the RBC Canadian Open golf tournament. Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images This isn't the first time McIlroy's driver setup has caused issues. A failed driver change also hurt his performance at the PGA Championship. With the U.S. Open around the corner, the five-time major winner is still searching for the right gear far from ideal with such a demanding course ahead. McIlroy, who recently completed his career Grand Slam, will be grouped with Shane Lowry and Justin Rose for the opening rounds two players currently in fine form. Meanwhile, DeChambeau returns as the defending champion, aiming to repeat his Oakmont magic from last year. The tournament will be broadcast across NBC platforms, including Peacock and USA Network, with coverage starting early each day. With the field stacked and conditions tough, every detail matters and for McIlroy, the uncertainty around his driver could be a critical setback in his chase for another major.
