US EditionRory McIlroy Explains Decision to Duck Media at PGA, Saying He Didn't Want to Discuss Driver Issue
- Rory McIlroy avoided media interviews during the 2025 PGA Championship after his driver failed technical compliance before the event at Quail Hollow.
- He explained his silence stemmed from frustration over the confidential non-conforming driver information leaking prematurely while wanting to protect others involved.
- McIlroy admitted skipping media was also due to poor play and wanting to practice and rest, stating players can legally bypass media unless rules change.
- He expressed frustration that although both his and Scottie’s drivers had failed the test, only his name was made public, even though the matter was expected to remain confidential.
- McIlroy reemerged at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open to clarify, suggesting media attendance should be a two-way street and skipping remains within players' rights until mandatory.
