Arena with Maurice Brosnan: Rory McIlroy’s decade-long dance with Augusta, golf and Ireland

Arena with Maurice Brosnan on Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy is now a back-to-back Masters champion and a six-time major winner. This week, we look back on his remarkable triumph at Augusta National and what it was like to witness it on the ground.

What McIlroy means to the sport, and to Ireland, are questions we try to answer. In a modern era where golf is competing for attention and searching for a post-Tiger Woods figurehead, McIlroy’s success feels more significant than ever.

Arena, a new podcast from the Irish Examiner, offers weekly deep dives into Irish sport. Listen for free on the Irish Examiner website or wherever you get your podcasts. Get in touch with Maurice on [e-mail].
