I think that's his way of saying, everyone. Just chill. M'okay? :-)

I really want to see him play the PGA but only if he is healthy.  Not worth risking further setbacks for one tournament.

Was watching the 2010 PGA Championship last night. I don't think anyone's changed more in the last 5 years than Rory. Looks like a totally different person. Then you have Zach Johnson who doesn't look like he's aged a day. Zach looks exactly the same now as he did then.

Yeah, Rory has really changed a lot. More muscular, thinner face, shorter hair. Looks like an athlete now.

McIlroy posts photos of his ankle:


Here's another speculation piece from yesterday, post workout video release, for what it's worth. Nothing new, other than some Euro-centric tour tidbits.

No chance if his ankle is still that swollen 5 weeks after the injury.

Pretty much. I sprained my ankle, heard three pops but no ruptures, and my ankle swelling was down after a few days.

If the reports are true on the rupture I am kinda shocked he hasn't had surgery on it.

Those images were taken the days after his injury and are not recent.

Oh, I saw the "3 Hours Ago" tag so thought they were recent.

edit: that went wrong. Anyway, he's hitting his driver from the driving range.

The swelling looks like it's pretty much gone in the 3.5 weeks photo, but it would have been better to take a photo from the same angle as in the original 4.5 weeks photo, to compare apples to apples.

He looks like ready for call from green.

Is he coming to next tour?

He posted same thing on FB too.

I was thinking the same thing, I think his forearms are larger than his calves.  He might need to work on his legs a bit more to give his ankle some muscle and strength to support that upper body.

    • On the subject of teenagers in professional tournaments there is a kid (Kris Kim) who is a member of my club in England and is at my old school. He’s 16. He’s playing in the pga tour event in Texas this week. Shot 69 yesterday for T31 and is -2 today through 5 holes. T55 and on the cut line. I really hope he makes the cut. Will be awesome.    His dad I believe is a teaching pro and his mum was on the LPGA Tour for a while. 
    • I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!
    • It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.
    • I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
