Rory McIlroy Credits Netflix's Bridgerton for Masters Win

Rory McIlroy credited his wife, Erica, for helping him relax and stay distracted during his victorious run at the Masters by introducing him to the Netflix series Bridgerton, which he admitted to enjoying despite initial reservations. McIlroy explained on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that, in an effort to avoid tournament coverage and relieve pressure, he focused on non-golf activities like watching TV shows and movies, including Bridgerton and The Devil Wears Prada. This approach, he suggested, was key to maintaining his composure and ultimately winning the Masters, completing his career Grand Slam. McIlroy's candid discussion of his home life and viewing habits comes after a period of personal upheaval, including a brief divorce filing with Erica, which the couple has since reconciled. Despite rumors and public scrutiny, McIlroy chose to focus on the supportive and calming influence of his family during this milestone achievement. His victory has been met with congratulations from major sports and entertainment figures worldwide.
