Rory McIlroy Hot mic Comment about Sir Nick Faldo after winning DP World Tour Championship

Hot mics catch Rory McIlroy comment about Sir Nick Faldo
Rory McIlroy revealed it was ‘nice to get passed Nick’ as he finished his 2024 on a high note at the DP World Tour Championship.

Sir Nick Faldo was on the receiving end of a playful dig from Rory McIlroy in the immediate aftermath of his victory in Dubai.

McIlroy, 35, held off Denmark’s Rasmus Hojgaard on Sunday to win the season-ending DP World Tour Championship and clinch his sixth Race to Dubai title.

It represented the third year in succession that McIlroy has topped the Tour’s season rankings.
And it means that he has now drawn level with Seve Ballesteros’ haul and is only two behind Colin Montgomerie.

The DP World Tour’s communications team shared a behind-the-scenes video on Sunday evening that showed some heart-warming moments with his wife Erica, daughter Poppy and caddie Harry Diamond.
As he was presented with the silverware on the 18th green, McIlroy remarked to a tournament official it was ‘crazy’ that he’s now won the Harry Vardon trophy six times.

SAD NEWS: Scottie scheffler announce resignation from PGA Tour   If golf fans are upset that the best players in the world aren’t playing in the same events such as this week’s Players Championship, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler said they need to turn their anger to the side that caused the sport to fracture….

If golf fans are upset that the best players in the world aren’t playing in the same events such as this week’s Players Championship, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler said they need to turn their anger to the side that caused the sport to fracture.

“If the fans are upset, then look at the guys that left,” Scheffler said Tuesday. “We had a tour, we were all together and the people that left are no longer here. At the end of the day, that’s where the splintering comes from.
 

“As far as our tour goes, like I said, we’re doing our best to create the best product for the fans, and that’s really where we’re at.”
While Scheffler will try to defend his title at the 50th Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm and other past major champions like Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith and Bryson DeChambeau aren’t in the field because they’re playing in the rival LIV Golf League.

The PGA Tour’s flagship event, known as the “fifth major,” doesn’t boast the same deep field that it has in the past.
“If guys want to go take the money and leave, then that’s their decision,” Scheffler said. “I’m not going to sit here and tell guys not to take hundreds of millions of dollars. If that’s what they think is best for their life, then go do it. I’m not going to sit here and force guys to stay on our tour.

“But at the end of the day, this is where I want to be, and we’re continuing to grow what we’re doing, and what they’re doing is not really a concern to me.”
Earlier Tuesday, during his first news conference since the Tour Championship in Atlanta in August, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said the circuit’s negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund had “accelerated.”
