PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. –– Rory McIlroy’s evolution from gawky teen when he turned pro to the chiseled physique of his 20s isn’t quite the body makeover of the LPGA’s Cristie Kerr, but it could be a close second.
On Tuesday, McIlroy’s fitness program, in particular, his use of weights, became a hot topic in golf after Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee said during a conference call with members of the media, “The only thing that gives me concern with regard to Rory going forward – I say it with a lot of trepidation, because it's a different era for sure and I don't know the full extent of what he's doing – but when I see the things he's doing in the gym, I think of what happened to Tiger Woods and I think more than anything as much as what Tiger Woods did early in his career with his game was just an example of how good a human being can be, what he did towards the middle and end of his career is an example to be wary of.
