Rory McIlroy takes the Ryder Cup seriously, so when he makes comments like the ones he did, Team USA and captain Keegan Bradley better take notice.

Rory McIlroy believes the players run the US Ryder Cup team-room and feels that will be an advantage for Europe in September’s showdown in New York.

No matter what Rory McIlroy shoots or how he handles the media spotlight, one thing that remains untouchable is his career Grand Slam. It took 11 years for the Northern Irish man to finally break through.

Perhaps the most "too soon" joke in "too soon" history. For those keeping track, the Masters took place just four weeks after the Players Championship. To be exact, the Masters Par 3 Contest took place just 23 days after the Monday playoff in Ponte Vedra. McIlroy wasted absolutely zero time. Sheesh.

Ahead of the Scottish Open, McIlroy discussed the importance of major championship venues and how they can apply additional internal pressure and motivation for the best players -- and took a swipe at the PGA of America's new flagship course in the process.

Rory McIlroy showed the utmost respect for the sporting longevity he himself has achieved and gave examples of stars from other sports in comparison.
