Rory Mcilroy speaks retirement – and 1 round will never play

We all hang it, although when it can be a complicated question.

Can be.

When Rory Mcilroy I heard that he asked on Wednesday morning, he was not complete from the reporter’s mouth when he had his answer.

You were relatively without injuries minus a few football games and what you have. How do you see your career wrapping? You have time. And you hit a certain age in which you are no longer as good. How do you get to grasp when you get to an age …

“I’ll be okay with that,” Mcilroy said.

We will check in a few years, of course, as the plans and egos change. For now, Mcilroy plays the Golf at the best level and, as a second -class player in the world, plays among the best at this level. This week, at The players’ championshipis among the favorites. But there is also the saying about the father of the father and his undefeated steal, and Mcilroy is a little under two months shy to reach 36 years. For the people who work among us, they are the first-5 years. But for athletes? Well, start receiving questions.

Not by chance, they were brought to Mcilroy, given the unfortunate circumstances around a friend, a major winner of a 49-year-old who is trying to let go of the back surgery last last year, the eighth procedure performed on his body. Monday after -make, however, I learned that there will be another for Tiger forest; His socializing accounts announced that his left Achilles tendon broke, as he began to “get up” and practice.

Of course, Mcilroy was bluntly in news assessment.

“Yes. It’s shit, ”he said. “Yes, he doesn’t have much luck when it comes to wounds and his body. Obviously, he tried to get up to prepare for Augusta, and Achilles’ surgeons are obviously not fun. Hoping he will be with a good spirit and hoping he’ll be going well.

“Obviously, we will not see him playing golf this year and we hope we see it may be playing in 2026.”

Could Mcilroy see Woods to be competitive at a yield?

“He will try. I know it will try, “he said. “But this is a question for him, not for me. Obviously, I don’t know what’s in his head. But judging by previous behavior, he will definitely try. “

As for Mcilroy, he has been relatively without injury since he became a professional in 2007, minus an ankle lesion suffered while playing football in 2015 as a reporter at the beginning of this article, Associated Press’ Doug Ferguson, emphasized. But Mcilroy said it would be good to go further, whenever that moment could be.

“I look at other sports,” he said, “and I had an unbelievable -I turned in 2007. I am 18 in a career. Not many athletes can say that they had a career of 18 years and I am only 35 years old.

“I can admit how lucky the golf players are to do what they do so long compared to other athletes, so every time I feel the time is right, I will have no problem moving aside and let the next generation do their things.”

That being said, it is easy to say. Most athletes perform the feeling of bullets, which can be a joy to follow when they are in their foreground and painful when they pass by. There are countless examples.

For Mcilroy, at least he put something thought in it. This year, a good form was shown, with a victory at AT&T Pebble Pro Pro-am and two top-20 years in PGA Tour and one equality at Hero Dubai Classic in DP World Tour. He said on Wednesday, his game feels good.

However, a day will come when a slide can come.

“I think (I will go further) when I got everything I want to get in the game and I get to the point where I don’t think I can do that,” he said. “I would also like to move away with a bit left in the tank. I don’t want to be there embarrassing. I would like to move away, maybe a little before I should say it.

“There is always one, but it’s okay. I think if you can reach terms with this and move away from your own conditions, then it is a good thing. “

But there is a place where it won’t work.

On Wednesday, the day before trying to win the player championship for the second time, the conversation ended this way.

A reporter asked: “If the Champions Tour is still a kind of what it is …”

Mcilroy replied: “Absolutely no. I will not play the Tour Golf champions.

“Look, I said a lot of absolutes in my time that I went back, but I don’t think about playing touring champions. Something went terribly wrong if I had to compete at the Golf at 50. “
