Lee Westwood Chats with Rory McIlroy: A Golfing Journey
Lee Westwood: Hey Rory! Good to catch up with you, mate. How’s everything on your end?
Rory McIlroy: Lee! It’s great to see you. Things are going well, thanks. Just got back from a pretty intense training session. You know how it is.
Lee Westwood: Absolutely, the grind never stops, does it? Speaking of training, remember that time we tried to outdrive each other? You must’ve been all of 20 and giving me a run for my money!
Rory McIlroy: (laughs) Oh, I remember that well! You had me beat with your experience, though. I learned a lot from those sessions. What’s been keeping you busy lately?
Lee Westwood: Well, aside from prepping for tournaments, I’ve been spending a lot more time on my course design projects. It’s fascinating to see the game from a different perspective.
Rory McIlroy: That sounds brilliant! I’ve always admired how you’ve balanced playing and giving back to the sport in new ways. Any standout design you’re particularly proud of?
Lee Westwood: There are a few, but the course in Dubai really stands out. The way it blends challenging play with beautiful scenery is something special. You should come check it out sometime!
Rory McIlroy: I’d love to! Dubai’s always a favorite stop of mine. Speaking of stops, where’s your favorite place to play? I know it’s a tough one to choose.
Lee Westwood: You’re right; it’s tough! But I’d have to say Augusta holds a special place in my heart. The history, the atmosphere… it’s just incredible.
Rory McIlroy: Couldn’t agree more. The Masters is like no other. You know, Lee, your longevity in the game is something else. What keeps you motivated year after year?
Lee Westwood: It’s the love for the game and the desire to keep improving. Plus, I enjoy the competition and camaraderie with everyone, including you, Rory. What’s your driving force?
Rory McIlroy: I think it’s a mix of passion and the thrill of chasing greatness. Every round is a new challenge, and I just want to be the best version of myself on and off the course.
Lee Westwood: That’s the spirit! Hey, before we wrap up, any advice for the younger generation getting into golf?
Rory McIlroy: I’d tell them to enjoy the journey, stay dedicated, and learn from every experience. And of course, keep an eye on you—Mr. Consistency. You’ve set a great example for all of us.
Lee Westwood: Thanks, Rory. Means a lot coming from you. Let’s definitely catch up soon and maybe have another go at outdriving each other!
Rory McIlroy: Count me in! Cheers, Lee. Until next time.
Lee Westwood: Cheers, Rory!
