Moreover, she feels McIlroy needs the drama to ignite his naturally absent competitive spirit on the course. “He almost needs that kind of drama to like, get him going to get him competitive to like, get him in that mindset to like to kill and to win,” she added.

Additionally, Spiranac believes that the 33-year-old might win the masters as well this year. That is, if he finds something to push him to perform his very best.

And finding that could be very easy too. There will be several press conferences and a lot of conversations with the other players, some drama is expected to happen.

What was the Teegate controversy?

The infamous “Teegate” controversy happened at the very start of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Patrick Reed approached McIlroy to greet him. But was harshly ignored. 

Reed was taken aback by McIlroy’s lack of recognition and playfully threw a tee at him. He felt the 4-time major winner was behaving like a child. While McIlroy had a perfectly good reason to do so. This happened due to a subpoena that the Rolex Series Champion received from the 32-year-old’s lawyers on Christmas eve.

It seems like a strange move for Reed to expect the golf great will acknowledge him after this incident. The situation begs the question, does Patrick Reed have any knowledge of this subpoena? Or is his legal team handling it?
