Quotes
“I didn't get it done last night and I really wanted to,” McIlroy said after winning 2025 The Players Championship.
“I'm expected to win, as well. That brings its own pressure in some way. But I felt like I handled everything and handled those nerves really well.
“By no means did I have my best stuff this week, but I was still able to win one of the biggest tournaments in the world. That's a huge thing.”
