McGinley: McIlroy ready to drive Ireland

Rory McIlroy’s embrace with the Olympic Games hasn’t been the warmest thus far, but Paul McGinley believes the world’s top golfer is ready to embrace the Rio Games in 2016 when he plays for Ireland.

McGinley: McIlroy ready to drive Ireland

The four-time Major champion finally declared his intentions last June and McGinley, who was yesterday revealed as team leader for Ireland’s golfers in Rio de Janeiro, is excited about the talent Ireland will bring to the Barra da Tijuca neighbourhood in two years time.

Like McGinley, McIlroy took in the Olympic Games two years ago in London. He even visited the athletes’ village and this year’s victorious Ryder Cup captain confirmed that the Holywood man will stay in the village at some point during the next event.
