Rory McIlroy has revealed the moment a "massive sense of guilt" prompted him to ensure his journeys to tournaments around the world are carbon neutral.

In the wake of the recent UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, McIlroy was asked for his views about the frequent flights he takes to compete in a sport which is, in itself, not considered environmentally friendly.
