Tiger Woods expresses confidence in Rory McIlroy's ability to complete the career Grand Slam at The Masters, leaving McIlroy feeling flattered. McIlroy aims to join the elite group of players who have won all four majors.
Rory McIlroy was left 'flattered' by Tiger Woods after the 15-time major champion said it was 'only a matter of time' before he completes the career Grand Slam at The Masters . McIlroy was the last player to arrive at Augusta National on Tuesday ahead of the opening major of the year, where a victory would see him become the first player since Woods to secure the Grand Slam.
' Rory's time for Masters glory?McIlroy arrives off the back of a third-place finish at the Valero Texas Open last week, having ended no higher than 19th in his previous five PGA Tour starts after electing for a busier early-season schedule to be ready for The Masters. 'I think it's been beneficial to play a little bit more this year, leading into not just this tournament but the spring and the summer,' McIlroy added.
