Rory McIlroy is gearing up for the US PGA Championship with an overwhelmingly positive mindset, following his recent victory at the Masters which completed his career Grand Slam. The world number two golfer expressed his enthusiasm and comfort as he returns to Quail Hollow, a familiar and successful venue for him on the PGA Tour.

McIlroy's Comfort at Quail Hollow McIlroy has a remarkable history at Quail Hollow, having won four times there. His familiarity and past successes at the venue provide him with a unique advantage and a sense of ease as he approaches the tournament. "I'm obviously going to feel more comfortable and a lot less pressure," McIlroy stated, highlighting the psychological edge he holds.

Reflecting on Recent Success After a thrilling play-off victory over Justin Rose at the Masters, McIlroy not only secured his fifth major but also joined an elite group of golfers who have achieved the career Grand Slam. This monumental achievement has shifted his perspective and approach towards upcoming majors. "It probably will feel a little bit different. I probably won't be quite as on edge as I have been for the past few years when I've been at major championships," he added.

Preparation and Media Engagements Since his Masters win, McIlroy has been balancing his preparation with various media obligations. Despite the busy schedule, he managed to find time to practice with his swing coach, Michael Bannon, and appeared on popular shows like The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Today Show. McIlroy emphasized the importance of getting back into his routine and focusing on the upcoming challenges.

Looking Ahead As McIlroy steps into the US PGA Championship, his eyes are set on continuing his stellar performance and adding another major title to his illustrious career. His positive vibes and strategic preparation at Quail Hollow make him a formidable contender in the tournament.
