Rory McIlroy reveals what Jack Nicklaus told him to change about his game just two weeks ago

Rory McIlroy enters the final round of The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village eight shots behind the leaders J.T. Poston and Ryan Gerard, with both players having only completed five holes of their third round as of June 7, 2026. McIlroy, who has never won the tournament despite being a longtime admirer of host Jack Nicklaus, reportedly received advice from Nicklaus about his game just two weeks prior. Nicklaus is expected to be in attendance on Sunday and would like to see McIlroy finally claim victory at his tournament.
