McIlroy Seeks Harmon's Help Ahead of Masters Challenge

Rory McIlroy, currently ranked second in the world, seeks guidance from Butch Harmon, Tiger Woods’ former coach to address issues in his game ahead of The Masters. Despite just one top-20 finish on the PGA Tour this season, McIlroy aims to become the sixth player to win all four men’s majors. McIlroy concerns over his iron play led him to consult Harmon, whom he has known since he was 14 years old.

Harmon insights and coaching style resonate with McIlroy who describes him as part golf coach, part psychologist. While McIlroy long-time coach is Michael Bannon, he values Harmon perspective as a second opinion. McIlroy shares an anecdote about his daughter’s innocent advice regarding his golf lessons. With nine previous attempts at Augusta, McIlroy is determined to achieve the career Grand Slam with his best finish being second place in 2022.
