Su questo episodio

<p>As a special bonus episode ahead of the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, enjoy an interview with Rory McIlroy from our Eggsplorations feed in March 2024. The greatest golfer in the history of Northern Ireland discusses his roots there, his favorite golf memories growing up, and his favorite courses and earliest memories of Royal Portrush and Royal County Down. Rory fields questions from TPC Sawgrass as he prepped for The Players while Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath were across the Atlantic in his home country acquainting themselves with the golf culture and a few of the world class courses that Rory came to know in his earliest days as a junior standout. He also explains this golden age of pro golf success for the island, which boasts five different major winners since 2007 after a 60-year drought. There’s also plenty of banter and insight into what it was like growing up at Holywood, how different it is now as a big shot on the PGA Tour, and much more.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
