"The Holywood star makes people feel things - pride, exasperation, fear, elation, all shades of the spectrum of emotion - sometimes in the same 45-minute spell It's utterly fitting that The Year of Rory ended as it did: the man himself a proxy in someone else's war and winning it. For four tedious years, he has been the PGA Tour's tin soldier in their conflict with LIV."
"The Holywood star makes people feel things - pride, exasperation, fear, elation, all shades of the spectrum of emotion - sometimes in the same 45-minute spell It's utterly fitting that The Year of Rory ended as it did: the man himself a proxy in someone else's war and winning it. For four tedious years, he has been the PGA Tour's tin soldier in their conflict with LIV. In August, it was Europe versus America. In Olympic matters, it was once Ireland versus Great Britain."
The Holywood star elicits a wide spectrum of emotion — pride, exasperation, fear, elation — sometimes within a single 45-minute performance. The Year of Rory concluded with him serving as a proxy in another party's conflict and emerging victorious. For four years he has operated as the PGA Tour's representative in the struggle with LIV. At times his role has framed contests as Europe versus America, and in Olympic contexts as Ireland versus Great Britain. He has simultaneously symbolized organizational loyalties, regional alliances and national identity while influencing outcomes on the course.
