Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy play Ballybunion together in preparation for The Open

Tiger Woods couldn’t leave Ireland without letting everyone’s favorite Irish player show him the ropes on home soil, and of course, Rory McIlroy obliged.

After Woods and McIlroy teed it up at the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor earlier this week, Woods alluded to continuing his Open preparation on Irish soil, keeping his exact plans secret from media to avoid an onslaught of press.

Now, we know where, and with who, he was going.

Just days ahead of his third major appearance this season, the three-time Open champion played a round alongside good friend McIlroy on Thursday at Ballybunion Golf Club on the west coast of Ireland.
