"Certainly not involved too much in the politics of everything, and even just not being involved with even the -- you know, being on the board of this TOUR and just talking about changes to the TOUR Championship and all that, like I have no idea what's going on. I think at this point, I don't care."

McIlroy is one of the top favorites to win the Truist Championship 2025, considering his remarkable season on the PGA Tour. He started his outing at the Truist Championship with a round of 66 and then carded 67 on Friday and jumped 21 spots on the leaderboard and settled in the T4 position.
In the post-round press conference on Friday, Rory McIlroy reflected on his game and said (via ASAP Sports):
"I felt like today was another sort of scrappy one. I made what I feel are some uncharacteristic mistakes compared to how I've played the majority of the year.
"So just got to try to iron that out over the next couple of days, try to shoot a couple of scores without as many bogeys on the card. If I can do that and just tidy it up a little bit, I feel like I'll be in a good spot heading into next week," he added.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy has so far played a total of seven tournaments on the PGA Tour. He started the season with a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and then won the Players Championship, followed by his amazing win at the Masters.
