Yuta Ikeda and Rory McIlroy: A Conversation on Golf, Life, and Japan

Yuta Ikeda: Rory! Great to see you again. How have you been?

Rory McIlroy: Yuta! It’s been far too long. I’ve been good, chasing that small white ball around the world as usual. And you? Still flaunting that impeccable swing of yours?

Yuta Ikeda: Always trying to keep it sharp. It’s been a journey. Speaking of which, have you had a chance to play much in Japan recently?

Rory McIlroy: I did get to play the Zozo Championship last year. Japan is incredible! The courses, the culture, the food – it’s an experience like no other. You must feel lucky having such great courses in your backyard.

Yuta Ikeda: Absolutely. Japanese courses are unique, each with its own personality. But apart from the golf itself, it’s the respect and precision in the game that stands out here. It’s more than a sport, it’s almost an art form.

Rory McIlroy: I felt that. There’s a certain reverence on Japanese courses. And I’ve got to say, the fans are so respectful and passionate! Plus, the food – sushi straight from Tokyo! How do you not gain weight living here?

Yuta Ikeda: Haha, well, balance is key! I indulge in sushi but also burn it off on the course. But Rory, what’s one thing about Japan that surprised you the most?

Rory McIlroy: The punctuality blew my mind. Trains are on the dot, and people even show up early! Quite a change from the “fashionably late” culture in some other places. And funnily enough, vending machines! Why are they everywhere?

Yuta Ikeda: Oh, Japan’s obsession with convenience! You can get anything from those machines. Coffee, ramen, even ties for your next meeting. It’s pretty wild. But speaking of punctuality, it does reflect in the discipline required for golf, don’t you think?

Rory McIlroy: Totally. Precision, discipline, and focus – these are the key elements. Japan has certainly mastered it. I’m curious, Yuta, what’s your pre-match routine like?

Yuta Ikeda: I like to keep it simple. A good warm-up, visualizing my shots, and a quick tea ceremony. It centers me. How about yours?

Rory McIlroy: Mine’s a bit more straightforward – a good stretch, some putting practice, and blasting some tunes in my headphones to get into the zone. Differences and similarities, right?

Yuta Ikeda: Indeed. That’s the beauty of golf. Different approaches, same goal. Thanks for the chat, Rory. Let’s tee it up together again soon.

Rory McIlroy: Absolutely, Yuta. Maybe this time, you can teach me some secrets from those vending machines!

Yuta Ikeda: Deal. You won’t be disappointed!
