Last year, Rory McIlroy showed us how to play the iconic Postage Stamp at Royal Troon as a part of the NGC (Nike Golf Club) Pro Tips series. He also stressed the importance of finding the fairway and escaping the bunkers in a typical Open Championship course. As Rory gets ready for another season of golf in the new calendar year, he returns in this series of NGC Pro Tips where he emphasizes fundamentals and simplicity in his golf swing.
To stay at the top of his game, Rory McIlroy has a team that’s dedicated to his success. They include instructor Michael Bannon, caddie JP Fitzgerald, and exercise physiologist Dr. Steve McGregor.
