Rory McIlroy Sparks Massive Controversy with Shocking PGA Tour Video – Fans Can’t Agree!

Golf fans are divided over a recent video of Rory McIlroy during the final round of the BMW Championship, where it appears that he might have intentionally snapped his driver in half. The incident occurred as McIlroy, 35, bent down to pick up his tee peg while his ball was heading towards the water. His TaylorMade Qi10 Driver unexpectedly broke in half, surprising both fans and commentators.

Fortunately for McIlroy, his ball avoided the water, coming to rest on a grass bank. However, the driver incident sparked immediate debate in the Sky Sports Golf commentary box during the live broadcast. Opinions were mixed, with one commentator suggesting that McIlroy may have broken the club out of frustration, while another believed it was simply a freak accident. Lead commentator Ewen Murray remained undecided throughout the discussion.

The split in opinion extended to social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where fans were also torn. Some were convinced it was an accident, with one fan stating, “Of course it was an accident,” and another commenting, “Yes, definitely not intentional.” Tiger Woods’ former coach Hank Haney also weighed in, considering it an accident.

However, other fans were skeptical. “100% on purpose,” said one, while another added, “At that angle, it screams deliberate.” One fan observed, “I feel like a guy who swings this club every day will know exactly how much pressure he’s putting on that shaft when leaning on it.” Another summed it up by saying, “Yes, accidentally on purpose.”

Despite the incident, McIlroy managed to salvage a par on the hole and finished the tournament with a score of 71, placing him T11 at 6-under par, six shots behind the winner, Keegan Bradley. McIlroy did not speak with the media following his round.
