Rory McIlroy will carry Team Europe's hopes of winning the
2023 Ryder Cup having enjoyed a lot of success in the tournament.
What to know about McIlroy
The Northern Irish superstar heads to Marco Simone and Country Club as one of Team Europe’s most experienced and accomplished Ryder Cup players.
With four Ryder Cup wins from six appearances, McIlroy will be looking to do his part to help Europe win back the Cup.
It was regained by the United States in Whistling Straits, USA two years ago.
Ryder Cup record
Since his debut in 2010, McIlroy has been part of every edition of the biennial contest, and has evolved into one of the leaders in the team room and on the golf course.
The four-time Major Champion has played in 24 matches, winning 12, halving four and losing 12, with a total points tally of 14.
He won the Ryder Cup in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2018.
What was said?
"Stats-wise, you look at the American team, they are very good sort of from 150 [yards] in. So, trying to set the golf course up, it's a challenge to get your tee shots within that range," McIlroy said at the 2022 Italian Open, held at this week's Ryder Cup host venue, Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.
"You'll see even this year compared to last year, some of the tee shots have been brought in and the rough has been brought in on either sides. You've got bunkers that you can carry at 300 or 310 but the angle it's created is very, very tight and you're hitting into smaller win dose.
"I think by forcing people to play more conservative off the tee, I think that helps the Europeans a little bit. So, I think that's part of the strategy."
