McIlroy has said that he feels “pressure” to win a major, while Norman has admitted that he “struggled” with the pressure of being a favorite. Both golfers have also faced criticism for their outspoken views on the LIV Golf Tour. McIlroy has been a vocal critic of the Saudi-backed breakaway tour, while Norman is the CEO of LIV Golf. The LIV Golf Tour has been criticized for its human rights record and its impact on the PGA Tour.
