Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review – On Par (PS4)

By Mark Labbe

If you’ve ever played golf, then you know that a large part of the enjoyment not only comes from the actual game, but also from the incredible beauty of the golf courses. Being able to stand on green grass looking at rolling hills, trees, and the occasional scampering animal sets golf apart from most other sports, adding in a natural aspect that simply isn’t possible in confined stadiums or indoor courts. After spending a while with Rory McIlroy PGA Tour , it’s clear that the developers have played enough golf to be able to encapsulate not only the mechanics of the game, but also the beautiful landscapes of the courses.

Golfing Mechanics

There are three different gameplay styles (Arcade, Classic, and Tour) in Rory McIlroy PGA Tour , with each one giving players a whole different type of golfing experience. The Arcade style is probably the most familiar one of the bunch, as it brings back the ability change the spin of the ball in the air. It is probably the least realistic way to play golf, but it is certainly fun to be able to change where the ball will land while the thing is still in the air. The Arcade style also allows players to zoom in to see around where the ball will land, and it makes putting a little bit easier with a putt read feature that gives a better look at the curve of the land.

The Classic style brings back the three-click controls, having players try to stop the swing meter in certain, small areas. This style is probably the easiest in terms of being able to hit perfect shots, although players are not able to add boost or spin to the ball. Finally, the Tour style gives players a more realistic golfing experience. It turns off the zoom function and the putt read feature, and players are not able to change the spin of the ball in the air. However, the ability to add spin and boost to the ball before it is hit is there, making the Tour style of gameplay the most complex and hardest to master, but also the one that best simulates actual golf.

After picking one of these gameplay styles (they can be changed at anytime), players can then choose which game mode they would like to play. Players can either take on a single course with up to four local friends, or they can do the Tour Pro Career mode, which is essentialy a career mode where players create a character and compete in tournaments to unlock new clubs and outfits for their character. Or players can compete against friends online. All of these modes offer basically the same thing — playing golf on a golf course. 

However, there is one other game mode, called Night Club Challenges. As the name suggests, players take on a bunch of golfing challenges at night on three different golf courses. There are quite a lot of challenges to play through, and each one can earn the player between one and three stars, depending on how well the player does. Some challenges ask the player to hit a ball and have it land on a certain target, while at the same time trying to avoid obstacles, and other challenges have the player trying to hit the ball through a hoop in the sky, among other things. A number of different power-ups, such as a rocket boost that allows the ball the gain altitude, even when falling, or a power-up that makes the ball instantly stick to the ground instead of rolling around help the player get through the challenges. These modes not only offer a break from simply playing a normal game of golf, but they also help to hone aiming and shooting skills.

Breathtaking Scenery

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour runs using the powerful Frostbite 3 engine, giving the game gorgeous visuals. You can see particles floating in the air, the clouds moving overhead, and the sun illuminating the entire course, making the whole thing look different depending on whether you set the time of day to the morning, midday, or evening. Thanks to the power of current-gen systems, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is easily one of the best looking sport games out on the market today — just check out the screenshot gallery below to see what I mean.

But, besides the breathtaking scenery, the Frostbite 3 engine allows for the title to see the entire golf course as a whole, rather than just as individual holes. What that means, exactly, is that areas that were previously out of bounds, resulting in you having to take a penalty, are now viable areas of play. For example, in the Boston course, I hit the ball fairly far away from the fairway, and it ended up in a bunch of bushes and leaves. Instead of losing a few strokes and having to place the ball somewhere else, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour now simply has the player hit the ball from almost anywhere it lands, meaning I had to hit it out of the bushes, which completely concealed my character and the ball, and back onto the fairway. Each course is more open, and since the whole course is now rendered as a whole, there aren’t any loading times when switching between holes.

Quality, Not Quantity

However, perhaps due to the detail that went into the visuals of each course, there is a fairly limited number of courses that are actually available to play at launch. With the pre-order DLC Scottsdale course, which, if you didn’t pre-order the game, won’t be available for a few months, there is a total of 13 courses. While it does take a while to play through each course fully, it soon becomes necessary to replay each course over and over again. Obviously, you can get drastically different results with each playthrough of a golf course, but the low number of courses still feels limited. It should be noted, however, that EA is planning on releasing free courses after the game is released.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour also has a very limited number of golfers to choose from. There are only a handful of golfers to use, and there are virtually no women golfers, barring the goofy and fictional Edna Masterson. Players have the option of making there own golfer, which they must do for Tour Pro Career, although the there aren’t too many customizable features to use. There is a small amount of hairstyles, a few different facial structures, a variety of different skin colors, a number of different unlockable outfits, and that is pretty much it. It’s pretty far from the different options available in Dragon Age: Inquisition , another EA game running on Frostbite 3, and the options just feel underwhelming. 

Despite the limited number of courses to play on and the limited number of golfers to choose from, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is still worth buying. Each course is visually breathtaking, and the various gameplay styles and game modes allow for completely different game experiences each time you play. If you’re a golf fan, or if you just want to look at gorgeous scenery, then you might want to check out Rory McIlroy PGA Tour .

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

Rory mcilroy pga tour.

Is Rory’s console debut headed for the green or straight into the rough?

• Satisfying, flexible controls
• Solid graphics and sound
• Fun fantasy courses and Night Club mode
• Limited course and player selection
• Fewer customisation options
• Lack of solo and multiplayer modes

Key Specifications

• Review Price: £43.99

Available on Xbox One (reviewed), PS4 This should have been a new beginning. It’s the first PGA Tour on a new generation of consoles, and also the first with a new cover star, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy. It’s a chance for EA to pull one of its oldest and best-loved franchises out of the doldrums it sunk into in the later Tiger Woods years, and to expand the horizons of one of gaming’s most conservative genres. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour could have been and should have been great.

Instead, it falls somewhere on the fringe of greatness, nearly on the green and within sight of the cup, but frustratingly short of target. It’s a alright-looking golf sim with finely-honed gameplay and a few smart surprises on the way, but it only feels like half the full package. PGA Tour does what it does very well, but the more you play, the more you notice what’s missing, and the more you wish it did just a little bit more.

Let’s talk about the stuff where Rory lands it on the fairway, not the scrub. The graphics have their weaknesses, including texture pop-up, some peculiar artefacts and the odd, weird shimmering effect, but this is still a reasonable leap forwards from the last Tiger Woods. The vegetation is lusher and more lifelike and the scenery more coherent and believable. Golfer animation is more fluid and convincing, with some great animations that take you through the whole gamut of emotions that the noble sport inspires, from joy and exhilaration through to frustration and raw misery.

Verdict Rory McIlroy PGA Tour plays a great game of golf and has noticeably better graphics than the series previous-gen outings. There’s not an awful lot wrong with the core game, and there are some nice surprises. The problem is that the lack of modes, courses, customisation options and players makes it feel only half-complete. This is a problem EA can fix with free DLC, but for now this feels like the foundation of a brilliant golf sim rather than the finished article.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour review

It's (probably not) in the game.

With Tiger Woods experiencing the kind of career downturn that would have Messrs Torres and Falcao nodding sympathetically, it's no wonder EA has opted to drop the fairway-dodging flop for its flagship golf series, replacing him with the more successful (and marketable) Rory McIlroy. Surely, then, this is the ideal opportunity for a fresh start, and a series seemingly content to coast along on past successes would be revitalised by its prodigiously talented star?

You could forgive yourself for getting a little excited after the hyperbolic introduction. "Limitless!" chirrups Rich Lerner, like a man triumphantly declaring his favourite Bradley Cooper film. "The ability to break free, to experience golf in ways you never thought possible." What could this mean? My mind raced. An infinite number of procedurally-generated courses? The ability to play anti-gravity space golf against a sentient blancmange using giraffes as clubs? Apparently not. It turns out that "taking your game to levels once only dreamed of" involves little more than pitch-and-putt on a course surrounded by reused Battlefield assets and a mode that might as well be called Rory McIlroy's Mario Golf .

And, it transpires, "limitless" isn't so much an exaggeration as a bald-faced lie. Because EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Turbo HD Remix has fewer courses, golfers, modes and features than its predecessor. Tiger's last outing had five women from the LPGA Tour; they've been unceremoniously dropped here, as has roughly half the roster of male golfers. There are 12 courses, when two years ago we had 20 (heck, it's two fewer than Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 managed). Gone are the detailed character customisation options for your career golfer, replaced instead by a handful of preset avatars, most of which look like they've been designed by someone who's never seen a human face, but once had one described to them over a Skype call from a noisy venue with particularly flaky wi-fi.

In fact, the career mode as a whole is significantly undernourished. I qualified for the PGA Tour after placing second in my first round as an amateur, and then joylessly worked my way through a series of disconnected tournaments. There's no sense of pageantry surrounding the big competitions, and very little fanfare when you win a tournament: you get a dry text report with a trite quote or two from your golfer. Your stats will steadily rise, and occasionally you'll unlock some more branded gear, but otherwise there's little sense of progress - not least because there's no tangible record of your recent achievements, just a series of rudimentary stat tables. The Highlights tab, meanwhile, simply collects reports of completed rounds and sponsorship deals. In an age of "Xbox, record that" and Share buttons, perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that you can't watch or save replays of your best shots within the game, but it's disappointing not to have the option.

It's far from the only thing that's missing. There are no practice rounds in Career mode, no optional objectives to complete for XP boosts. In multiplayer - online or off - you can only select between Stroke Play and Match Play. There's no Best Ball, no Alternate Shot, no Four Ball, no Skins. No Skins! EA Tiburon has promised several free updates to the game that will add new courses and features, though I'm not sure that compensates for the absence of options that have been an integral part of the series for years. Even the Country Clubs from Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 have been removed.

This might be less of a problem if what remained was a noticeable improvement on previous entries. It isn't. The courses, rendered in the Frostbite engine, look good for the most part, but there are obvious performance issues throughout. It's never a good sign when a game has pop-in on the title screen and so it proves: foliage will often appear from nowhere, and there's a sporadic shimmering effect in certain areas. Presentational sloppiness is pervasive. Menus suffer from noticeable delays, sluggish transitions and weird little inconsistencies. Even the claim of no loading times isn't strictly true - though they're appreciably brief, interstitial shots of leaderboards, your golfer and close-ups of the next hole number stall you from teeing off.

At least the commentary from Rich Lerner and Frank Nobilo offers some enlightening facts. I now know, for example, that Tom Watson once won the Open at Royal Troon, that Royal Troon was the site at which Tom Watson won the Open, and that one of the great Open champions at Royal Troon is Tom Watson - all from one 18-hole round. It's a pity they don't have more lines, as their commentary is fine and surprisingly naturalistic - there are even a couple of minor stumbles and grammatical flubs which sound like normal conversation rather than obviously scripted soundbites (though you'll still hear a few of those).

All of these problems are undoubtedly damaging, and all the more irritating for the fact that underneath it all it still plays a solid game of golf. The tutorial, or Prologue, is a nice bit of business which takes you through the three different swing types while allowing you to play key moments from the closing stages of a tightly-fought Open as McIlroy faces off against Martin Kaymer. Key shots and holes are interspersed with observations from the man himself delivered to camera. It's a neat idea that gives you a sense of occasion that's missing elsewhere. How odd that EA Tiburon should reserve it for the tutorial.

Also worth noting is the degree with which you can customise your swing. I'm a fan of the classic three-click system employed in many other golf games, though the gauge moves a little too slowly for my tastes here, and so I quickly reverted to the traditional analogue swing. As someone who played Tiger for many years on PlayStation 2 and 3, I was initially surprised at how sensitive it was - the comparative lack of deadzone on the DualShock 4 means any slight deviation from a perfectly straight down-and-up motion can see you slice drives into the heavy rough - though once you've acclimatised, you'll likely want to switch to Tour mode, which is more responsive and complex still, while offering fewer aim assists. The grid overlay on greens still doesn't give you the most useful read of the topography of the putting surface, and so I retained the aiming guideline for putting - even though it's actively unhelpful for any shot that breaks both ways on its way to the hole. Still, EA Sports isn't the only developer that needs to work on its short game, and I appreciated the ability to remove the training wheels at my own pace.

Strangely, one of the most successful additions is the one that feels most out of place. The Night Club Challenge provides a number of bite-sized objectives with a variety of outlandish power-ups and features like turbo boosts, portals and sticky balls. Some stages are more like croquet than golf, while one objective, where you manually guide your ball through rings to top-up boost power en route to distant score markers, fleetingly reminded me of the brilliant Monkey Target. With three stars to collect on each challenge, it feels as if it was designed as a mobile spin-off - and might actually be a better fit on smartphones.

Its inclusion can be read one of two ways. Perhaps it was added to bulk up an otherwise insubstantial package, or perhaps EA Sports is targeting an audience which doesn't actually like the real sport that much. There's further evidence of this elsewhere: the default option for Career mode is Quick Rounds, which only lets you play "the most important holes" while determining your progress elsewhere based on your existing stats and form.

The assumption seems to be that most players won't have the desire or the stamina to play a full round - though in light of the limited number of courses, it may simply be a way to minimise repetition. Either way, EA Tiburon has produced a game hardly befitting a player of McIlroy's talents. The so-called "next generation of golf" looks uncomfortably similar to the last, and there's substantially less of it. Only the quality of the underlying game saves this from the ignominy of an Avoid sticker.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

Swing and a miss.

By Josiah Renaudin on July 24, 2015 at 11:06AM PDT

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a shallow, lifeless golf game--rich in technical failings but bankrupt of interesting content. The game types are limited, the number of players and courses is laughably small, and the textures awkwardly pop in and out of view as the camera scrolls across a course. Actually swinging a club and mapping out shots feels right, but whatever goodwill is earned on the course evaporates as you pull away to discover the unimpressive Pro Career mode and the restrictive nature of even the basic Play Now feature. The fresh face on the cover and fancy new game engine can't mask the fact that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is an undercooked debut that feels like half of a game.

It starts strong, at least, with a detailed tutorial on the various swing styles that provide you with more freedom than ever before. There are three set swing types: a basic analog stick setup where power is determined by the backswing, a more complex version where the follow-through is also taken into account, and the classic three-button press system. If none of the above suits your style, a custom swing option allows you to combine elements of each approach into a personalized pairing of preferences. You can determine if you'd like to be able to hit power shots, zoom in on the trajectory of your ball, see how the wind shapes its flight, and even closely control its spin. Whether you'd like to play Rory McIlroy PGA Tour as a sports simulation or an over-the-top arcade game, the options are there.

No matter what style you choose, taking a smooth backswing and making solid contact with the ball feels authentic, and the putting is challenging without feeling punishing. A dashed line represents the path of your ball from its place on the green to the hole, which takes into account the putt's speed and break. It takes time to correctly read greens with steep hills or sharp ridges, but watching a 20-foot putt bend from right to left and clink at the bottom of the cup is very satisfying.

Other than the lack of load screens between holes and an improved putting system, the swing selection is the only area where Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is bigger and better than what's come before it. The number of real-life courses has been more than halved, with only eight locations that golfers will actually recognize. There are four additional make-believe locations, but none of them make up for the fact that you can't experience the Masters at one of the most famous courses of all time, Augusta National. If that’s not disappointing enough, there are just 12 playable golfers--about a quarter of what previous games have trained us to expect.

Fewer golfers wouldn't be all that damning if the character creator was even passable, but what's available is one of the worst customization tools ever stuffed into a sports game. There are so few options when creating your custom golfer that it's nearly impossible to make a character that you can even pretend looks like you, unless yours happens to match one of the 11 pre-set heads or three body types provided. Instead of feeling like you're starting your own unique career on the PGA Tour, the barebones tools force you to role-play as some anonymous young golfer straight out of a stock photo.

You take this indistinct, cookie-cutter avatar through a single lower-level Web.com event, and from there, you're off to the races. There's no grand buildup, no scenes of your collegiate career, and no narrative to push you forward. You go from tournament to tournament, either competing in quick rounds where you play five or six of the most important holes per day or going through all 72 holes with the hope of becoming the world's number one golfer. But without any sort of subsidiary content to complement the tournaments--such as a story, drills, or even a schedule to outline your goals--the Pro Career can quickly devolve into an unexciting slog devoid of drama.

The only saving grace is the fact that your character raises levels, earns new clubs, and unlocks additional outfits just about every time you complete a round of 18. This sense of progression makes the gauntlet of tournaments much more palatable, as you're able to see your power, accuracy, and spin vastly improve and lead to pretty shots and even prettier scorecards worth hanging on the fridge. You don't manually add points to specific aspects of your game, but you can choose from different packages that might focus on power, accuracy, or more balanced play.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour fails to pair its solid mechanics with diverse and interesting content, and its myriad technical failings drag the otherwise picturesque courses into the dirt.

Unfortunately, the bleak only gets bleaker as you venture outside of the career, where the online community-based Country Club and popular modes like Skins, Best Ball, and Battle Golf have all been removed. Online tournaments and head-to-head play give you some reason to test your created golfer against players more savvy than the AI, but the utter lack of gameplay variety is disappointing.

If you find yourself hungry for something--anything--new to grab on to, a fresh Night Club Challenge mode is available. This extended series of challenges has you landing balls in small circles and through floating hoops to earn points, but a mid-air nitrous boost just isn't enough to make target practice drills any fun. You can earn three stars per level--similar to most popular mobile games--but the deeper you travel down the road of challenges, the less it feels like golf.

Even outside this neon-lit, objective-based playground lie moments that, again, don't feel like anything you'd find on the real PGA Tour. Sinking birdie putts as your created player often leads to a shot of him or her awkwardly busting out the robot or the sprinkler--and while I don't think golf needs to be some sacred pursuit devoid of humor, the celebrations feel completely out of place.

Additionally, the commentary sporadically mismatches its messages with what's actually taking place on-screen. Even though I sliced my ball out of bounds and into the trees at St. Andrews, both commentators talked about how unfortunate it was that I just hit it into the water--despite my ball being completely dry. After that, they mentioned how my approach shot had too much speed and not enough backspin as they watched it softly land on the back of the green and spin backward toward the front hole location. Like most other aspects of the game, the commentary is careless.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour fails to pair its solid mechanics with diverse and interesting content, and its myriad technical failings drag the otherwise picturesque courses into the dirt. There are just too few courses and golfers to keep you playing, and even the limited game modes available don't have anywhere near the complexity or depth we've come to expect. Whether you want to call it a shank, a duff, or a whiff, all that really matters is that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a poor effort from a series that was looking to make a splash in its generational debut.

• Leave Blank
• Different swing styles give players more control on the course
• Putting is both challenging and rewarding
• Disappointingly small roster and course selection
• Dull career mode weighed down by paltry character creation tool
• Textures pop in and out of focus constantly
• Most of the interesting modes you’ve come to expect are absent

Critic Reviews for Rory McIlroy PGA Tour

The assumption seems to be that most players won't have the desire or the stamina to play a full round - though in light of the limited number of courses, it may simply be a way to minimise repetition. Either way, EA Tiburon has produced a game hardly befitting a player of McIlroy's talents. The so-called "next generation of golf" looks uncomfortably similar to the last, and there's substantially less of it. Only the quality of the underlying game saves this from the ignominy of an Avoid sticker.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a disappointing golf game that just barely manages to make the cut.

GamesRadar+

Despite smooth gameplay and fancy visuals, this game is handicapped by a distinct lack of courses and players, leaving it feeling incomplete and rather bland.

Metro GameCentral

The gameplay basics are fine, but this is the absolute bare bones of what a golf game should be – with less than half the amount of content of the last game in the series.

Game Informer

Rory has solid gameplay and covers the basic feature bases, but it doesn't distinguish itself

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour falls far short of its predecessors

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is an empty, unimpressive debut lacking in both content and finish.

Game Revolution

[A]s much as Night Golf and reduced loading times are fantastic additions to the standard PGA Tour offering, I would rather have more courses, golfers, and character customization with clean next-gen graphics. Content and execution outweigh novelty modes and convenience.

Rory McIlroy at center of PGA controversy as players 'hold talks' on 'rule change'

T he PGA Tour Player Advisory Council (PAC) has been in deep discussions at this week's BMW Championship about possible alterations to the criteria for playing and the number of competitors in the American circuit's tournaments.

The question of who gets to play on the PGA Tour has become a major debate topic over the last twelve months . The tour has been eager to ensure that its top golfers face each other more often during the season, exemplified by the introduction of the 'Signature Event' plan coming in 2024.

This new initiative has upgraded several key PGA Tour competitions , offering a whopping £15.2 million ($20m) prize purse for each, featuring only 70 players battling it out for the staggering amount, frequently without a cut.

Typically, standard Tour events have fields ranging from 144 to 156 players; however, concerns regarding lengthy rounds due to these substantial participant numbers have come to light. As reported by Golfweek, some preeminent players serving on the PAC gathered at Castle Pines considering a vote for potential amendments.

Although there is a push from some members to shrink the number of participants to prevent tournaments from running after sunset before the 36-hole cut, those at the lower end are wary about their chances to partake being diminished. "We want every single player who earns a full Tour card to have a fair opportunity to compete on the PGA Tour," stated one unnamed golfer, reports the Mirror .

Currently, performance in the FedEx Cup standings is crucial for securing playing rights for the next season. This campaign, any player who ranks within the top-50 at the end of the regular season will receive full exemption into all mega-money Signature Events for 2025.

Further down the ranking, Tour players who finish the year within the top-125 in the FedEx Cup list retain a full Tour card. According to the report, an unnamed player suggested that any changes need to be implemented sooner rather than later, stating: "You have to get it done for 2026 2025 is baked in but it has to be set in motion so guys know what they are playing for (next season)."

Rory McIlroy has been a proponent of reduced field sizes and fewer Tour cards. Despite potentially upsetting some of his fellow players further down the PGA Tour hierarchy, he stated in March: "No, I mean, I'm all for making it more cutthroat, more competitive. Probably won't be very popular for saying this but I'm all for less players and less Tour cards, and the best of the best.''

He continued to discuss the debates about cut lines at the Tour's Signature Events, saying: "When all these signature events were thought of, we were thinking no cut, but if it's important enough, or if it's that important to Tiger and Jack and if Arnold were alive, if it was important enough for him, then it's their tournament, at the end of the day, and they can do whatever they want."

• 70 Game Informer Rory McIlroy PGA Tour isn't a bad game, it's just one that doesn't positively make the case for longtime fans of the series or the new systems. With the gameplay nudged ahead only slightly, the graphics not particularly new-gen, and a reduced feature set, the mind easily wanders to what we've lost rather than finding comfort in what's there.

• 60 Toronto Sun A new face and name certainly brings a sense of freshness to Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, but the novelty isn’t enough to make up for the lack of content. While there’s a decent game of golf here, it won’t be occupying the top of the leaderboard any time soon.
• 4.3 User Score Based on 76 user reviews.
• 70 GameSpew The tight mechanics and gameplay cannot be overlooked and EA certainly has made good on that ground. Is it as enjoyable as the previous titles? No. It lacks the depth which its predecessors possessed and as a result, you’re left with little will to return. Regardless, this is the first half-decent golfing game on the current gen consoles, and aside from the gimmicky Night Club Challenges and inclusion of Star Wars Battlefront-themed courses, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour offers a level of realism that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else right now.
• 50 IGN Italia Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is way above the par: the few good bright sides are not enough to cover its lack of contents and a far-from next gen graphics.
• 80 MondoXbox A good golf simulation, capable of entertaining both experts and newbies thanks to lots of control options and a scalable difficulty.
• 65 Vandal It's a good golf game. It plays well, has tons of content and it's fun, but it definitely is not the step forward we expected from a new generation of golfing games.

Rory McIlroy set for frosty two-day pairing with PGA Tour pro at BMW Championship

Rory McIlroy will join Wyndham Clark for the first two rounds at the BMW Championship, a player that called him out at last year's Ryder Cup.

Rory McIlroy is set for an awkward two-day pairing with Wyndham Clark at this week's BMW Championship at Castle Pines GC. 

Clark, 30, famously called out McIlroy , 35, on the eve of last year's Ryder Cup by telling Golf Channel 'I like to think I am better than him' .

A number of ardent PGA Tour fans stifled a laugh at such a bold claim. 

NEW: Why Wyndham Clark was justified with Rory McIlroy complaint: "I was pretty bummed"

The American, who did say he had the 'utmost respect' for McIlroy, admitted he wanted to go up against the European Ryder Cup hero in the Singles in Rome, but that didn't play out. 

Clark did, however, go on to team up with Patrick Cantlay to defeat McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick 1up in the Saturday Fourballs.

The ending of their match descended into complete chaos when Cantlay drained a long birdie putt that ultimately won the match. 

Cantlay's caddie Joe LaCava , who previously looped for Tiger Woods , then got in the face of McIlroy as he was lining up his own birdie putt on the 18th green and it then all kicked off.

Live From just showed this angle of LaCava on the 18th green in Rory’s kitchen as he prepared for his birdie putt. Definitely right in Rory’s way. pic.twitter.com/NcBAILHBcJ — Shane Bacon (@shanebacon) September 30, 2023

An argument then broke out in the car park .

McIlroy went on to rebound in his Sunday Singles match against Sam Burns (3&1), while Clark went on to lose 2&1 to Bob MacIntyre.

Europe ran out convincing 16.5-11.5 winners. 

McIlroy top scored for the week with 4 points from 5, while Clark took 1.5 points from 3. 

Clark admitted during the Ryder Cup that his comments about McIlroy were 'taken out of context'.

As it stands, McIlroy is ranked third in the world, while Clark is fifth . 

McIlroy leads Clark by some 2.5 points in the Official World Golf Ranking on the eve of this week's penultimate FedEx Cup event. 

Clark is sixth in the FedEx Cup standings heading into the BMW Championship, one spot behind McIlroy in fifth. 

Scottie Scheffler is a runaway leader in the FedEx Cup race, but he can be caught by Xander Schauffele this Sunday night.

A lot needs to go Schauffele's way though.

Clark has won just three times on the PGA Tour, highlighted by a US Open title in 2023, while McIlroy has won 26 times on the PGA Tour including four major titles. 

McIlroy and Clark get their first round underway at the BMW Championship at 1.10pm local time on Thursday.

That is 6.10pm for UK fans.

They then join up again for the second round at 11am local time on Friday.

Clark will no doubt fancy his chances of performing better than McIlroy this week as a result of him playing on home turf in Colorado.

The total prize money on offer this week is $20m , meaning the winner will scoop a whopping $4m .
