The top Rory McIlroy conspiracy theories on the internet, after his stunning walk-off

It’s not about the teeth, as Lance almost said.

IT’S BEEN A tough day at the office for Rory McIlroy.

The world No 1 walked off during his second round — which was going badly – at the Honda Classic earlier.

He first told reporters he wasn’t right mentally before releasing a statement stating he was suffering with wisdom tooth pain. The internet isn’t buying it.

Here’s some of the most prevalent conspiracy theories online this evening:

1. There’s nothing wrong with his tooth

2. Tiger and Nike have sabotaged him… ridiculous we know

3.  It’s the clubs, stupid

Rory Mc 2

4. It’s his head, not his teeth

Rory Mc 3

5. Wozilroy are no more and he’s heartbroken

Rory Mc 4

Good use of ‘dumpaton’ in fairness, internet.

  • Give the man a chance like, he’s a class act regardless, maybe the whole tooth thing is a lie but even so the unreal talent is there and he will bounce back in a big way. how many people here even knew he won the Honda classic last year and was here defending it? I know I didn’t, judge him if you want if he flops at the majors, but I really doubt he will.

  • Did Jack Nicklaus just say “he will be fine” OR “he will be fined”??? Was it “mental pain” OR “dental pain”, or maybe just a little “love itis”? Golf is “big business” for the sponsors, and a “gig business” for the professional golfers that appear to be taking their commitments and their contracts to “finish their work” far too lightly! Big name golfers registering for a tournament and confirming to play, draws PAYING customers that normally would not pay to attend otherwise. They are silently and systematically defrauded. Is it time to crack down and fine these very “unprofessional pretenders”, especially on the grounds that this is “conduct unbecoming a professional golfer”? If their (big) fines go to designated charities and not to the tour commission, then the PGA tour slogan could be “these guys are good guys” not just “these guys are good” !

  • No disrespect, but he’s the world number 1, a fantastic golfer, surely he could hit the ball with a snooker cue and still win ! ?
