Rory McIlroy begins busy Masters prep in Abu Dhabi, itching for a win
Imagine if during Tiger Woods' prime he went three full years without winning a major championship.
From the time he won his first major title at the 1997 Masters to his 14th at the 2008 U.S. Open, Woods never went a stretch of more than 10 majors without winning one of the game's four biggest tournaments.
Rory McIlroy is not ready to hand the United States the next Ryder Cup despite a convincing win by the Americans in 2016.
Rory McIlroy told The (London) Telegraph that he now has a heart irregularity after coming down with a viral infection while in China a year and a half ago, but he said later that the issue is "really not that big of a deal."
