Rory McIlroy's recent performance at the St. Jude Championship has raised concerns, as he finished in 66th place, 25 strokes behind the champion, Scottie Scheffler. This result is particularly disappointing given McIlroy's previous success, including his second Masters title earlier this season.

This result highlights the challenges McIlroy faces as he aims to secure an unprecedented fourth FedEx Cup title later this month. The article delves into McIlroy's struggles, providing insights into his performance and the potential implications for his season.
