Rory McIlroy spoke with reporters for the first time since his failed driver test at the 2025 PGA Championship ahead of this week's RBC Canadian Open

At last, Rory McIlroy addressed his driver issue at the PGA Championship, and he had some very strong opinions that he felt compelled to share.

Rory McIlroy ended his silent treatment during all four rounds of the PGA Championship on Wednesday and kindly returned to speaking to the media. It took several questions but eventually the reigning Masters champion was asked about why he chose to go radio silent at Quail Hollow last month after it was reported that his TaylorMade driver had been deemed non-conforming ahead of the season’s second men’s major.
