Nicknamed Rors, McIlroy will be oozing with confidence when he tees off at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club having won the recent 2023 Genesis Scottish Open,
Rors clinched the Scottish Open title after he birdied the last two holes in blustery conditions on Sunday to win by one stroke - ending a ninth-month trophy drought on the PGA Tour.
Why McIlroy is among the favourites
The accomplished golfer is in good form at the moment having finished second at the 2023 US Open before securing a top seven finish at the 2023 Travellers Championship and he then won the Scottish Open.
McIlroy won the 2014 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool by two strokes over Rickie Fowler and Sergio García, and he is now eager to win the tournament for the second time at the same venue.
Quotes
“It feels like such a long time ago," Rors said as he reflected on his 2014 Open Championship win after clinching the 2023 Scottish Open.
"You're trying to rekindle the memories as I was driving from the airport Sunday night and getting onto the Wirral.
"I haven't been here since 2014, so trying to get those memories back again and trying to re-familiarise myself with the range and the club, the first tee and everything," he added.
It's nice to come back anywhere you've had success, it's always a nice feeling."
