Reckon we've got the Sky Sports Golf Christmas mini series "Rory Roars Back" to look forward to presented by Paul Brown Nose McGinley. Cant wait.

And the whole Rory's grand slam with a three hour showing of all the major wins. Presented and narrated by Henni Zuell to make it even more watchable!

I loved it when Rory reacted to damned poor sportsmanship by the twit of a caddy in the Ryder Cup. He showed passion and fight - Ryder Cup is all about both attributes and I'm very pleased he has them in spades.
Same again next time round please Rory.

Lets stick to the topic please, this is what PMs are for if you want to take anything up with someone.

Respect him as a player and pleased for him he finally won.
As others have mentioned though some serious questions about him as a person.
Sulked and left when he lost the us open.
Refused to play in the Irish open.
Hit 2 balls directly at the crowd on Saturday without even holding his arm out, let alone shouting fore.
Says he watched "soccer" yesterday. So out of touch with being Irish.

So he is pretty much like every single top level sportsmen and certainly all golfers
Not sure when he “refused” to play in the Irish Open as he has hosted it a number of times - he has won it , played in it last year and is playing in it this year
Imagine a player being disappointed when they don’t win a major tournament when being so close

Surely that's being respectful to the predominantly American audience?

Love how people are saying Rory is whiney - surely their whining is a bit of pot and kettle?

On a sky sports interview? I think he only remembers he's European once every 2 years
The reason he sounds whiney occassionally is when he maybe lost out and the interviewer askes "where did it go wrong", how can you give a positive answer to your own failure?
I think some people have a dislike and it doesnt really matter why, which is ok, noone is popular with everyone but acknowledging generational accomplishments seems like the adult thing to do?

Do Sky Sports viewers not understand the word soccer?
Admittedly as a Manchester United fan he's probably not used to seeing much decent football played.

He lives in the US it’s not a surprise that some of the language and mannerisms rub off on him

The soccer thing was a bit of a joke tbh.
For me, Rory is the greatest European golfer of all time, 5 Majors, 4 off them giving him The Grand Slam, 3 Fed Ex, 6 DP world race to Dubai, 5 Ryder Cups, he has done everything in the game of golf and he’s only 35.
I don’t even think you can dream of a career like that.

Not bad for a choker, Brian.
I'd still argue Faldo or Seve with their major hauls and their RC records. The Fed Ex didn't really exist and Seve in particular was instrumental in taking golf across the globe

I'm a huge Seve fan and a big admirer of what Faldo achieved but I think both of them are in Rory's rear view mirror.

Seve won 5 majors , same number as Rory but Seve didn’t win either the US Open or US PGA
Faldo one extra major but again didn’t win the US Open or PGA
Think when it comes to Ryder Cups Rory’s has won more than both of them
Rory has more overall wins than Faldo - Seve miles ahead
But the grand slam edges him ahead of both
The only European to do it
