Rory McIlroy’s victory at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship 2021 (now the Truist Championship) marked a significant return to form, as he captured his 19th PGA Tour title. After starting the tournament slowly and sitting well off the pace early, McIlroy surged back into contention with strong weekend play, ultimately closing with a final-round 68 to finish at 10-under par.
Here’s a look at what McIlroy had in play five years ago.

I watched him at the Waste Management on Thursday and he was still gaming an M5 driver

Srixon staffer and the only thing he plays that us normal guys can play is the golf ball (maybe).

Given his clear love for tinkering I’d be amazed if it’s the retail golf ball

I don’t care how good you are, that tiny skinny , thin bit of lead tape is going to make nada difference on the wedge. Nothing.

Probably just there to add a teeny bit of weight to hit his preferred swingweight number in that club. It probably bothers some guys to know there club is at D2.75 instead of D3, even if they might not really be able to feel it by blindly swinging the club. It’s just peace of mind for some folks. That’s my guess anyway!
