Podcast Notes Podcast Notes PODCASTPODCAST NOTESNOTES Rory McIlroy Professional Golfer David Novak, founder and CEO of oGoLead™ interviewed Rory McIlroy for a new oGoLead™ Leadership Podcast. McIlroy's candid conversation with Novak spans his life and leadership lessons that apply to everyone who wants to be a better leader, whether in business or sports. McIlroy is a four time major champion and recent winner of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He has spent 95 weeks ranked as the #1 golfer in the world, joining the illustrious company of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the world's only three golfers to have won four Major titles by the age of 25. Many topics were covered on the podcast that is available on oGoLead.com; here are some of Rory McIlroy's insights to help you become a better leader. oGoLead.com 1 Q&A Novak: What makes a great coach - not just for golf? McIlroy: Communication. It's how a coach says it, knowing you and how you'll receive feedback. If you don't take criticism well, you can say 'you are doing this really well, but don't that'. Take an interest in and the time to know people's personalities and how they take on information because everyone is different. Whether you are coaching a team or an individual, there are different ways to communicate. Whether you lead a team or work with others, communication matters. What is the best way for you to receive feedback? (Direct, sandwiched with some positive reinforcement like Rory, with specific examples and tips on how to improve, other ideas…) Think about someone you work with today. Do you know how to best provide feedback to this person in a way they will hear it and respond? Spend some time with this person this week and ask how they receive feedback best. Then, use this information to help you become a more effective communicator. oGoLead.com 2 Q&A Novak: What traits do you admire in leaders? McIlroy: You have to lead by example. You can't just preach about what people need to do, you have to show them. If you look to your boss or leader and they are practicing what they preach, it is more authentic, so that's a big thing. With leadership, you don't want to lead by fear, you want to make the people you are leading feel a part of things. You don't want a separation between people and a leader. Make it feel like one big team and make everyone feel valued. Would people who work with you describe you as someone who leads by example or someone who says, "Do what I say, not what I do?" Explain your answer. What is one action you can take this week to lead by example and show others you value them? oGoLead.com 3 Q&A Novak: I see that authenticity is really important to you - you are the real deal. McIlroy: I try to be me, not somebody else. Once I became 100% comfortable in my own skin, if not everyone likes me, that's ok as long as I stay true to myself, the values I believe in and be authentic. What fears keep you from staying true to yourself? oGoLead.com 4 Q&A Novak: What was it like during the 2011 Masters when winning was in your grasp, then you hit a bad drive on the 10th? What did you learn from that experience? McIlroy: That round at Augusta was the most important round of my life and I learned so much. At the time, it was a failure and I didn't know if I would get a chance at The Masters again. I was distraught but when I looked back at the tape, one of the big things I saw was that I was very insular. My shoulders were rounded, my head was down a lot. Even on the 10th hole, I wasn't embracing the situation. I wasn't going out with the right mindset and was thinking about the person ahead of me versus focusing on what I can do. I wasn't in control of what I was in control of, that's why I lost. I don't think I would have the career I have without that day. Rory chose a positive mindset and learned from the drive on the 10th hole. Think about the last time you experienced a setback or challenge. Did you choose a positive mindset or did you feel defeated and give up? Explain your answer. What can you learn from Rory's approach to handling a setback? How can you apply this the next time you're faced with a setback or challenge? oGoLead.com 5 Q&A Novak: Talk about having grit and coming back - how'd you do that? McIlroy: All I wanted was to give myself another chance and prove to myself that that person on the back 9 at Augusta wasn't me. I wasn't going to be defined by it and it wasn't me to wilt under pressure. Whoever that was, he's gone. I thought that if I get that chance again, I'm going to make sure I grasp it with two hands. Fast forward, the chance was at the U.S. Open. I was a different person, walking around with head up and chest out. I kept my eye line above the heads of the fans, exuding confidence, big on body language and positive thought. Rory chose to not let the 10th hole define him, and he made changes that resulted in a win at his next tournament, the US Open. Do you let setbacks define you or do the setbacks inspire you to learn and make a change? How does Rory's grit inspire you to keep moving forward and learn from your experiences? oGoLead.com 6 Q&A Novak: When you are at the top how do you stay hungry and push for better results? McIlroy: You always have to reset your goals, reassess. I always ask "What's next?" One of my first goals in 2012 was to get to world #1 and I did that by end of February. I struggled for a couple of months after meeting that goal thinking, this is great, now what? I learned a valuable lesson. You always have to reassess, reset your goals. So I said, okay, now that I got to #1, I want to average 15 points in world rankings and got my head around that. Once you've achieved the goal, it's always what's next. How can you apply Rory's strategy to ask, "What's next?" in your personal and professional life? Novak: What do you look for when you team up with people? McIlroy: Common values is a big thing. Relationships matter, it can't just be transactional. You have to build firm relationships, you need to want to be in it together and share common goals. Partnerships can't just be one-way street. It's two-way. You want the best for them, they want the best for you. Everyone needs to feel valued. Would people describe you as more task focused or people focused? Why? Choose one person that you don't know well and invite them to coffee or lunch this week. Focus on building a relationship with them by getting to know them better. oGoLead.com 7 Q&A Novak: How do you hold people accountable? McIlroy: It goes back to leading by example, having strong beliefs and values and making sure people live up to those beliefs in any decisions they make. Consciously think, is this decision in the best interest of what we want to achieve? Everyone is looking out for themselves but at same time you are part of a team so think about your overall objectives. How well do you keep the overall objectives in mind when making decisions at work? Novak: Do you have any fears about winning? McIlroy: No, not at all. I know that if I play anywhere near my best, in any given week, I have a chance to win. And it's just about giving yourself a chance. And once you're there, you have to grasp it with both hands and hit the shots that matter. I have no doubt if I get myself in that position, the win won't be too far away. (Just two weeks later, Rory won the Arnold Palmer Invitational showing the power of positive attitude!) Rory is confident in his ability to play golf and chooses a positive attitude, which helps him succeed. Think about a situation where you're struggling with a positive attitude. Spend some time reflecting on how you can flip your negative thoughts into positive ones. Work hard to think positive thoughts about this situation for a week. oGoLead.com 8 Q&A Novak: How much is gratitude a part of your life? McIlroy: It's huge. I think everyone has to be thankful for what they have. I think to receive something, you first have to be thankful for it and I've been very thankful for everything that's happened to me in my life. I've got a deep gratitude to my parents and what they've done for me. I'm thankful every day I can get up in the morning and do what I do and spend time with very special people and learn from these people. What are three things your grateful for today? To take this to the next level, write down three things you are thankful for each day this week.

  • Interview Transcript: Tom Watson
    INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: TOM WATSON Wednesday, June 22, 2011 MODERATOR: I'd like to welcome Tom Watson to the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, his first visit back to En-Joie since 1976. Tom, coming off of a big win about a month ago at the Senior PGA Championship, maybe just get us started, talk about that, and then where your game is right now. TOM WATSON: Well, thanks. My game is actually in pretty good shape right now. I played in a tournament that I started in Kansas City five years ago called the Watson Challenge, trying to determine the best player we can in the city. It's only for the Kansas City golfers, the amateurs and the pros. We had the tournament there and I ended up winning that tournament and still kept the challenge alive. Why can't anybody beat a 61-year old, broken-down pro? I actually played pretty well, drove the ball well there, that's -- I'm playing pretty well right now. On this golf course, you have to drive the ball well, and if you don't drive the ball well, you're going to get into the rough and you're going to be -- make a lot of bogeys on this kind of course. It's in excellent shape. I'm probably at somewhat of a disadvantage because I haven't played this course, I don't remember it, since 1976 and a lot of the players who have played it the last four years on our Tour, so I hope to get to know it a little bit better and I have a chance at the end of Sunday to have a chance to win.

  • RORY Mcilroy ( -10)
    ROUND 4 INTERVIEW May 9, 2021 RORY McILROY ( -10) LAURA VESCOVI: We'll go ahead and get started. First off, we'd love to congratulate you, Rory. You earned your 19th PGA TOUR title here at the Wells Fargo Championship. Obviously a very special win for you, this is the site of your first PGA TOUR win and it's your third win at Quail Hollow Club. Just thoughts on the win today. RORY McILROY: Yeah, this place has been good to me. Ever since I first set eyes on this golf course, I loved it from the first time I played it, and that love has sort of been reciprocated back. I've played so well here over the years. I think this is the first time I've ever won an event for the third time, so that's pretty cool to do it here. And yeah, just I did -- jeez, there's been so many things that -- I'll get into it a little bit later, but I didn't even think I was going to tee off in this tournament Wednesday night. Then even if I had had a morning tee time on Thursday, I probably would have pulled out because I hurt my neck on Wednesday afternoon and couldn't make a backswing. It just sort of, everything aligned. I was off on Thursday afternoon, I got enough treatment so that I could play and then progressively got a little bit better as the week went on. Yeah, it's just amazing how these little things, they all add up.

  • Past BMW Championship Winners Rory Mcilroy, Zach Johnson and Camilo Villegas Attempted to Recreate Arnold Palmer’S Historic Drive Off the 1St Tee from the 1960 U.S
    For Release: September 3, 2014 Contact: Stacy Morris Corporate Communications Manager BMW of North America, LLC (201) 370-5134 (m) [email protected] Past BMW Championship winners Rory McIlroy, Zach Johnson and Camilo Villegas Attempted to Recreate Arnold Palmer’s Historic Drive Off the 1st Tee from the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills Country Club to Kick-Off the 2014 BMW Championship. The 2014 BMW Championship Takes Place in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado, September 4 – September 7. Woodcliff Lake, N.J. (September 3, 2014) – BMW Championship winners Rory McIlroy, Zach Johnson and Camilo Villegas attempted to recreate Arnold Palmer’s historic drive from Cherry Hills Country Club’s 1st tee to kick-off the 2014 BMW Championship. The recreation was a nod to Palmer’s legendary tee shot during the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills, when he drove the green at the 346-yard, Par-4 1st hole, sparking his memorable comeback win. Hunter Mahan, 2013 BMW Championship Hole-in-One player, and PGA TOUR Player Keegan Bradley, also attempted to recreate the famous shot. Each player used a replica Persimmon driver, with a steel shaft and a wood head, from the same era used by Palmer during the 1960 U.S. Open at the 346-yard, Par-4 1st hole, sparking his memorable comeback win. Though no player was able to successfully replicate Palmer’s shot, BMW made an additional $10,000 donation to the Evans Scholars Foundation, which grants full college scholarships to young deserving caddies of financial need. McIlroy came the closest to the green with a 300-yard drive.

    POST-ROUND INTERVIEW 21 October 2019 TIGER WOODS JASON DAY RORY McILROY HIDEKI MATSUYAMA HENNI ZUËL: What a nice little confidence boost this is. Obviously it's fun to play along these guys, but it's a world-class foursome and how did you feel out there? JASON DAY: It was great. I think the back and forth was nice and I honestly think we all played some pretty nice golf out there, so hopefully the fans enjoyed it on TV around the world. I think overall it was a lovely afternoon, evening. First time I ever finished under lights, so that was exciting. HENNI ZUËL: Tiger, how much did you enjoy this format? It's obviously one that you're familiar with, skins, but how much did you enjoy it out there with these guys? TIGER WOODS: Well, I enjoyed just being out with these guys and I think that we all put on a pretty good show. No one got shut out, which was great, and I think we made a few birdies. Learned the golf course a little bit on the fly and we got it in, which is great. HENNI ZUËL: Rory, your style of golf is pretty aggressive. I feel like this suited you out there to be able to just fire at pins? RORY McILROY: Yeah, for the most part. Yeah, no, it is, especially with the way the course was set up, we could fire at some pins. Yeah, no, it's good fun. I mean, there's probably a few holes out there where during the tournament this week we probably won't hit driver, but it was nice to get driver in our hands and have a hit and have a bit of fun.
