Nothing like the best player in your game calling the sport boring.
Responding to a report by Sport England that showed that the number of 16-25 year olds regularly playing golf has dropped 50% in the past three years, McIlroy said the game needs speeding up.
“People enjoy watching the game but gone are the days that you could spend five or six hours on a golf course,” McIlroy said.
“Everything’s so instant now and everyone doesn’t have as much time as they used to. So you maybe try some way of speeding the game up.”
