Rory McIlroy tells journalist ‘it’s none of your business’ at Olympics and mocks rivals

Rory McIlroy shut down questions about his 2024 Olympics preparations ahead of representing Ireland in the golf.

Rory McIlroy is representing Ireland at the 2024 Olympics. 

Rory McIlroy told a journalist to mind their own business in response to a question about why he was preparing for the 2024 Olympics at St Andrews. The world No. 3 is representing Ireland alongside Shane Lowry at Le Golf National this week after raising eyebrows by practising on an incomparable course at the Home of Golf in Scotland.
The Old Course at St Andrews shares very little similarities to the one McIlroy will compete on during the Paris Games, his second successive Olympics after also participating in Tokyo three years ago.

But when that fact was raised ahead of the action teeing off on Thursday, the 25-year-old had no interest in disclosing the thinking behind his preparations.

“It was good. I wasn’t expecting quite the crowd on the last few holes that we got but yeah, it was good.
“That was the first game of golf I’ve had since Troon. I thought at least one game of golf before I got here was probably beneficial.”
