McIlroy feared he gave Woods COVID-19 on eve of Open Championship

RORY McIlroy thinks he may have given Tiger Woods COVID-19 on the eve of the Open Championship after the pair played at a charity event beforehand. The Northern Irishman, who claimed a third FedEx Cup this year, has forged a close bond over the years with the American, one strengthened by their shared views on the LIV Golf breakaway this season. While several of their rivals warmed up at the Scottish Open for this year’s Open, McIlroy and Woods played at a fundraising event hosted by JP McManus at Adare Manor. McIlroy has revealed he played at St Andrews while battling COVID-19 - and that he fears he gave it to Woods after the two dined together.
