Reflecting on the emotional weight of playing at home, McIlroy said, “I feel like playing an Open at Portrush already and sort of at least remembering what those feelings were like and those feelings that I was probably unprepared for at the time. It will be my first time sort of in public back home after winning the Masters. It should be a really nice week.”
With his game in peak form and the crowd firmly behind him, McIlroy could write another chapter in golfing history at one of the sport’s most iconic venues.

The sporting week ahead is packed with elite action across cycling, athletics, and MMA. The Tour de France enters a crucial mid-race phase with five gruelling stages from July 16–20. Stage 11 on Wednesday tests sprinters, but Thursday’s Stage 12 brings climbing drama in the Massif Central.

Sunday caps off the week with UFC 318, headlined by a blockbuster trilogy: Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier 3. Their first two wars delivered all-time classics, and this third encounter promises the same ferocity and skill, with the added poignancy that Poirier will be retiring from the sport – though Holloway has no plans to go easy on his long-time rival.
“I know this is Dustin’s retirement fight, and he’s trying to ride into the sunset, but he can go and do that, and it might be a little bit sad, because I’m going to go out there and get my hand raised,” said the fighter nicknamed “Blessed”.
Holloway added, “Hell of guy, great guy, awesome that it’s his retirement fight, but I’m here to spoil his plans and get my hand raised because I’m still going to be here when he’s riding off in the sunset. I’m still going to be here. I want to still go get an undisputed title, so I’ve got to go out and make a statement.”
