This puts him in fairly exalted...

Tiger Woods traveled to Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England, last week hoping to use the 2014 British Open to pin down some answers to the many questions swirling around his golf future. Instead, all his final score of six over par for the tournament did was stir up more questions. Is he really healthy?

HOYLAKE, England — Rory McIlroy is one of three, with Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. But so effervescent, so whimsical as well as so remarkably talented, McIlroy is truthfully one of a kind. “The Champion Golfer of the Year.” That’s how the British Open winner is introduced by the head of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, Peter Dawson.

And while McIlroy became the seventh player to go wire-to-wire in winning The Open Championship (Tiger Woods did it last in 2005), it was far from an 18-hole lovefest between McIlroy and huge crowds at Royal Liverpool.

Rory McIlroy heads to the 2014 PGA Championship a three-time major winner after a triumph in England. A wire-to-wire victory at the British Open gives the 25-year-old, who hails from Northern Ireland, a strong case for being the favorite as the 96th PGA Championship looms a mere weeks away. Even better is the fact he is just two years removed from winning that very tournament, a third of which secures...

Sunday’s final round of the British Open began with the widespread expectation that Rory McIlroy would glide to his first triumph at golf’s oldest major.
