Comparing Rory McIlroy to a Greek God

Former American Golfer Brandel Chamblee recently opened up about Rory McIlroy as he talked about how his time is running out to win major championships. He mentioned that while McIlroy does look like a Greek god and “is ripped”, he will slowly fall out from his prime as he grows older.

While mentioning the Irishman’s age and form, he said “at 34 he doesn’t have as much runway in front of him as he did when he won his last major.” While continuing on to talk about statistics in other sports. He mentioned how soccer players are dismissed from their teams because of the numbers which show that they have reached their statistical prime.
