Rory McIlroy joins to discuss golf and growing up in Northern Ireland

In this episode of Eggsplorations, the greatest golfer in the history of Northern Ireland joins to discuss his roots there, his favorite golf memories growing up, and his favorite courses and earliest memories of Royal Portrush and Royal County Down. Rory McIlroy fields questions from TPC Sawgrass as he prepped for The Players while Andy and Brendan were across the Atlantic in his home country acquainting themselves with the golf culture and a few of the world class courses that Rory came to know in his earliest days as a junior standout. He also explains this golden age of pro golf success for the island, which boasts five different major winners since 2007 after a 60-year drought. There’s also plenty of banter and insight into what it was like growing up at Holywood, how different it is now as a big shot on the PGA Tour, and much more. Thanks to Rory for his time.
