Rory McIlroy has faced some criticism for repeatedly declining to speak to the media following his rounds at certain events. The PGA Tour veteran, currently competing at 2025 U.S. Open has finally opened up regarding the matter. In his latest statement, McIlroy has taken a firm stand.
Several of the best players in the world have struggled at Oakmont Country Club. As rounds of 2025 U.S. Open have gone on, some have even shown their frustrations with their play.
The issue of McIlroy deciding against speaking to the media after his rounds began at the PGA Championship, and came after his driver was deemed non-conforming. And McIlroy shared his thoughts on the issue, and spoke about his frustration with the media.
“It’s more a frustration with you guys… I feel like I’ve earned the right to do whatever I want to do when it comes to speaking.”
After making the cut at the U.S. Open, McIlroy spoke about his mindset at the event with regards to making the cut.
“Yeah, it’s funny, like it’s much easier being on the cut line when you don’t really care if you’re here for the weekend or not.”
“I was sort of thinking, do I really want two more days here or not. So it makes it easier to play better when you’re in that mindset.”
