Of all the different viewpoints within golf at the moment, this has to be the most frustrating.

Commentating on Rory McIlroy’s round on Sunday at the British Open, NBC golf analyst Johnny Miller went in on Rory’s workout habits.

“I think he overdid the weight room, I don’t that helped him at all. Same thing with Tiger Woods. You just get carried away with wearing the tight shirts and showing off their muscles.”

Johnny Miller isn’t alone in making this argument, by the way. It’s an increasingly easy one for many nowadays. The most annoying thing about it, though, is how it defies some serious evidence to the contrary.

Putting aside the general improvement in players’ athleticism we’ve seen overall recently: Jack Nicklaus, golf’s greatest ever player, didn’t win 18 majors by being a better “finesse” player than everyone else, he did it by overpowering golf courses. He may not have been the most trim golfer in the world when he first arrived on tour, but he was one the strongest and most athletically gifted.

And then Tiger Woods did the same. He won 14 majors in large part because he was a fantastic driver of the golf ball thanks to his supreme distance. It’s why everyone started frantically “Tiger-proofing” golf courses to stop him from winning every week.

Gary Player arguably worked out more than any golfer ever before or since, and the guy won nine majors including a career grand slam.

So no, working out is not making Rory worse. It’s making him better. There’s a point where you can over do things, of course, but Rory is not at that point. He’s third on tour in strokes gained tee-to-green, and he’s already won four majors before the age of 27 — double the amount Miller won in his entire career.

Rory isn’t winning majors at the moment for two big reasons: Because the competition is arguably fiercer that it’s ever been, and because he’s struggled on the greens, not because he spends a few more hours in the gym than Johnny Miller ever did.
