Rory McIlroy Raises Injury Concerns Before Masters

Rory McIlroy is facing an injury concern ahead of the 2025 Masters, revealing that his right elbow has been bothering him. After finishing tied for fifth at the Houston Open with a final round of 64, McIlroy expressed optimism about his game despite the discomfort. He noted that he will be working with his coach to address the issue before heading to Augusta, where he seeks to complete his career Grand Slam. This year has seen McIlroy in strong form, with two PGA Tour victories already, including The Players Championship. However, the elbow issue raises questions about his readiness for the Masters, where he aims to secure his first green jacket. The upcoming tournament is particularly significant as McIlroy has not won a major title in over a decade.
