More quotes by Rory McIlroy
This is the great thing about Northern Ireland. I walk down the street and people stop me and say things like, 'I know you. You're that wee golfer, aren't you?' I say, 'Yeah, that's me.' They say, 'Keep it up, wee man.' It's very funny and that's why I want to stay here as long as possible.
Rory McIlroy
I'm afraid there are no replays or second chances in amateur or professional golf, and that's the way it should be.
Rory McIlroy
How can I intimidate Tiger Woods? I mean, the guy's got 75 or whatever PGA Tour wins, 14 majors. He's been the biggest thing ever in our sport. How could some little 23-year-old from Northern Ireland with a few wins come up and intimidate him.

My dad's a scratch golfer and I've got the knack of seeing something and then replicating it. I saw my dad swing a club and I worked out how to do the same thing. My backswing and follow-through have been basically the same since I was two.
Rory McIlroy
I always got very excited about the Masters as a kid. I could hardly wait until the Wednesday when you'd get the BBC's preview. And I'd then be glued to the screen until Sunday night.
Rory McIlroy
The flight I'm most excited about is the one that takes me back to Northern Ireland to visit family and friends.
Rory McIlroy
I don't really remember, but from about the age of five I told anyone who would listen that I was going to be the best golfer in the world.
Rory McIlroy
I was more worried about what other people would think rather than, you know, me. But you have got to do what is right for yourself and what you feel comfortable with.
Rory McIlroy
I realise that every time my face is on TV or I'm playing in a tournament, that I am a role model for a lot of people and a lot of kids do look up to me. I try to do my best in that regard and put myself across as honestly and as modestly as possible, as well.
Rory McIlroy
I have always said I will try to answer questions honestly. I don't want to change that about myself. I think people appreciate that about me.
Rory McIlroy
I started to really believe in myself, and my abilities, when I won the World Under-10 championship in Doral, Florida. I was nine and saw for the first time that I was amongst the best players in the world for my age. This was a massive confidence-builder for me.
Rory McIlroy
Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won't be there as much. I can't do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I'm something conscious of, but I'm not sad about it. It's fine.
Rory McIlroy
If somebody asks me whether I'd rather sink the winning putt in the Ryder Cup or win a major, it's the major every day. World championship or Ryder Cup? Win a world championship. At the end of the day you're going to be remembered for what you achieve in an individual sport.
Rory McIlroy
I kept telling myself this word, process. Focus on my process, don't care about the result.
Rory McIlroy
Everything is firing on all cylinders for me.
Rory McIlroy
It's been 18 months since I won on the European Tour and to win the flagship event, I could not have asked for any more.
Rory McIlroy
Sport was an obvious favourite of mine, and not only golf. I was, and still am, a big rugby fan.
Rory McIlroy
In a serious sense, wanting to change something from the past doesn't work for me - change something you don't enjoy now rather than regretting it later.
Rory McIlroy
I mean I don't want to feel inferior to any other golfer in the world. You know if you do that, then you know you're giving them an advantage, you know, right off the - you know, right from the start.
Rory McIlroy
My game wasn't where it should have been at all at the start of the year. I got into a couple of bad habits on my swing, and it just took me a little bit of time to get out of them.
