Rory McIlroy has spent the last decade as a media attraction, a go-to quote for everything from the history of the game to the state of LIV-PGA Tour negotiations.

He admitted to feeling used and ratcheted back his state-of-golf commentary considerably.

After winning the Masters , he has struggled in recent weeks and hasn't spoken to the media.

Rory McIlroy has always seemed more contemplative, more big-picture than most players.

He hasn’t given himself — or taken — the opportunity to consider that big picture.

Maybe that — more than media, more than the uncharacteristically rocky performance — is at the heart of all this.

Or maybe that's all psychobabble, and he’s just being kind of a jerk.
