Rory McIlroy is a professional golfer fromCounty Down,Northern Ireland. After the 2011 US Open, He has been cited as the most exciting young prospect in golf and having the potential to become one of the highest earners in sports in terms of endorsements.
Now, Rory McIlroy is the "Elvis Presley" of professional Callaway Diablo Octane Black Driver, according to European Tour Chief Executive George O'Grady. Do you think so? In this article, I would like to tell you the latest golf news about Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy's recent US Open victory is just one reason why Callaway Diablo Octane Black Driver fans are expected to flock to the Killeen Course, with the likelihood that the 80,000-plus who attended last year's event will be exceeded. O'Grady insists the 22-year-old will have that 'Tiger Woods effect' at the Irish Open because of his engaging personality.
"Wherever he goes inIreland, Rory is everyone's pal," O'Grady explained. "So we'll have to introduce crowd control, a bit more like the Ryder Cup with wider walkways because you are dealing with something like the Tiger Woods effect.
Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington has tumbled down the world ladder and out of golf's elite top 50, but there's plenty of fight in the 'old' warhorse yet.
Dublin's three-times Major champion positively bristled yesterday when it was suggested during an Irish Open media conference call that he might welcome a little time in the shade cast by the US Open-winning feats of McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.
"I certainly don't relish being in the shadows," retorted Harrington, leaving no doubt about his determination to show who's boss when the event returns to Killarney on July 28-31.
On that score, Harrington hasn't fared well recently. In nearly three years since his back-to-back victories at the 2008 British Open and US PGA, he's won just once - an Asian Tour event inMalaysialast October.
Yet he insists just one little piece of the jigsaw is missing. "I'm not quite putting all my game together and it's not for the lack of effort, enthusiasm or diligence. I'm doing all the right things and going through the right processes, but I'm just missing that little bit."

I purchased these to have something more forgiving since I was playing Ping I3 blades. Since I don't play as often I decided to buy something that would dampen mishit. I have a personal driving range and I found that my swing fault followed me, go figure :) Anyway, my 1st round was a disaster, but it wasn't the clubs. After the disaster I practiced all week with them, along with a major revision in my setup and shot 73 in my second round with them. So, they were redeemed. One thing I've noticed is that the offset is hidden well in the design of the club. I have never cared for offset, but it's almost invisible in this club. They feel really good in my hands and the thicker sole from the Ping's now seem normal.
