Rory McIlroy has spent the past year retracing the moments that pushed his career into a new chapter, and the memories still hit him with surprising force. But the most important moment of them all would be completing his career Grand Slam by winning the 2025 Masters. However, seven months after completing his long-lasting dream of wearing the Green Jacket, he is apparently ‘tired’ of it.

The World No. 2 admitted feeling exhausted from wearing it at events and started complaining about having to wear it everywhere. However, he figured out a solution to that and made an unusual request to his wife, Erica, if he ever complains about the Green Jacket again.

“You bring the green jacket with you. And sometimes you don’t want to wear it. I sort of complained about wearing it in Abu Dhabi. And I said to my wife, Erica, ‘if you ever hear me complain about wearing this thing again, punch me or do something because I’ve waited my whole life to wear this and now I’m complaining about wearing it,'” Rory McIlroy said at the CNBC CEO Council Forum.

Fans usually want to see an elite golfer like Rory McIlroy wear the jacket he has longed for wherever he goes. But humor crept into the discussion as he admitted that the warm conditions in Abu Dhabi prompted him to complain about wearing the jacket. This led to the unusual request to his wife.
