Rory McIlroy Quotes

Everything is firing on all cylinders for me, Picture Quote #1

I wish to clarify that I have absolutely not made a decision regarding my participation in the next Olympics. On a personal level, playing in the Olympics would be a huge honour. However, the Games in Rio are still four years away and I certainly won’t be making any decisions with regards to participating any time soon Picture Quote #1

My mom and dad worked very hard to give me the best chance in - not just in golf but in life. You know, I was an only child, you know, my dad worked three jobs at one stage. My mom worked night shifts in a factory Picture Quote #1

Of course, money matters to everyone even if some don’t want to admit it. If I won the Race to Dubai, I look at that prize money and think it could pay off my new house or the range I’m building. I am privileged to play golf for a living - look around St Andrews, that’s my office Picture Quote #1

To be a top-class athlete, you have to train hard, you have to eat right, you have to get enough rest. I feel the way golf is going nowadays, you have to treat yourself as an athlete Picture Quote #1

You know I need that cockiness, the self-belief, arrogance, swagger, whatever you want to call it, I need that on the golf course to bring the best out of myself. So you know once I leave the golf course, you know that all gets left there Picture Quote #1

I am a proud product of Irish golf and the Golfing Union of Ireland and am hugely honoured to have come from very rich Irish sporting roots I am also a proud Ulsterman who grew up in Northern Ireland. That is my background and always will be Picture Quote #1

Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won’t be there as much. I can’t do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I’m something conscious of, but I’m not sad about it. It’s fine Picture Quote #1

How can I intimidate Tiger Woods? I mean, the guy’s got 75 or whatever PGA Tour wins, 14 majors. He’s been the biggest thing ever in our sport. How could some little 23-year-old from Northern Ireland with a few wins come up and intimidate him Picture Quote #1

I always got very excited about the Masters as a kid. I could hardly wait until the Wednesday when you’d get the BBC’s preview. And I’d then be glued to the screen until Sunday night Picture Quote #1

I mean I don’t want to feel inferior to any other golfer in the world. You know if you do that, then you know you’re giving them an advantage, you know, right off the - you know, right from the start Picture Quote #1

I really enjoy playing ‘Tiger Woods’ on the Wii, and you can set the levels to easy, medium, or hard, so I think it’s definitely a good way for kids to learn the motion of a golf swing if they want to get into the sport. It makes it more fun for them as well Picture Quote #1

If I’m playing in the morning, I’ll get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If I’m playing in the afternoon, I’ll start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast, then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play, so I don’t feel sluggish or full Picture Quote #1

If somebody asks me whether I’d rather sink the winning putt in the Ryder Cup or win a major, it’s the major every day. World championship or Ryder Cup? Win a world championship. At the end of the day you’re going to be remembered for what you achieve in an individual sport Picture Quote #1

It may come as a surprise but I also really started to get into history while I was at school. I found the projects about World War Two fascinating - perhaps when I get the time again, I could pick up where I left off Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make a point of basing myself at home, being close to my family. I’ll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they’ll never have to work another day. I’ll do whatever it takes to look after them Picture Quote #1

The next time I cry about golf it will only be with joy. It’s not worth crying over golf for any other reason. After all, it’s only a game Picture Quote #1

I have always said I will try to answer questions honestly. I don’t want to change that about myself. I think people appreciate that about me Picture Quote #1

The great thing about my two lives is I love them both. I’m very ambitious and nothing gets in the way of me practising and concentrating on winning golf tournaments. But then I come home and get back to normality Picture Quote #1

My game wasn’t where it should have been at all at the start of the year. I got into a couple of bad habits on my swing, and it just took me a little bit of time to get out of them Picture Quote #1

The Olympics will be great for the growth of golf on a global scale, but my focus right now is on being the best player I can be, trying to win Major Championships and contributing to what will hopefully be a victorious European side at the forthcoming Ryder Cup Matches against the USA Picture Quote #1

I’ve always said the players don’t build up rivalries themselves, people from the outside build up the rivalries. I just want to play good golf. I want to try and keep winning golf tournaments Picture Quote #1

Because I lived so close to the school and walked there every day, I used to enjoy the school bus trips Picture Quote #1

On the course, I sometimes eat a little sandwich or a slow-release energy bar - one on the front nine and one on the back nine. You’re out there five hours, so you have to keep eating. You’re going to burn at least 1,000 calories. I’ll try to take in about 400-600 calories during a round and drink water Picture Quote #1

The flight I’m most excited about is the one that takes me back to Northern Ireland to visit family and friends Picture Quote #1

I’m three legs toward completing the career Grand Slam at 25. So, I’m feeling pretty good right now Picture Quote #1

Since turning professional at 18, I have travelled the world playing the game that I love and consider myself a global player. As the World No.1 right now, I wish to be a positive role model and a sportsperson that people respect, and enjoy watching Picture Quote #1

In a serious sense, wanting to change something from the past doesn’t work for me - change something you don’t enjoy now rather than regretting it later Picture Quote #1

Everything is firing on all cylinders for me Picture Quote #1

Leaving golf aside for the moment, I’d choose Roger Federer as a sporting role model, Muhammad Ali for a sporting and non-sporting role model and Nelson Mandela as a true and lasting inspiration Picture Quote #1
