The PGA Tour's Florida Swing has come and gone, which means its time to dish out awards
Wednesday morning of the 2025 Players Championship, Rory McIlroy spoke to the gaggle of press members that gathered outside the media center in the flash area. It was cool -- chilly, really -- with dew still on the ground waiting to be swept by the early goers who aimed to put last-minute preparations together for the week ahead. Nothing that notable came out of McIlroy's mouth unless you count a shot across the aisle at the … Champions Tour.
With time to spare following a mundane meet up with the future champion, I decided to walk up the 18th hole towards the merchandise tent to cash in on a $50 gift card that was burning a hole through my pocket. While on my journey, an elderly couple was making the same trek.
The woman asked her husband if McIlroy was in the field; he confirmed Rory was indeed playing.
