Rory McIlroy’s PGA Championship (https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/golf/pga-championship) week began with a tense start as he tore his toenail off after a painful blister developed on his right foot. Despite the setback, McIlroy managed to complete his Tuesday practice round without incident, using a shoe size adjustment to accommodate the issue. His blister, though minor, was a distraction during Sunday’s Truist Championship final, which he later revealed had been resolved through an at-home surgery. "I ended up ripping the toenail off last night," he said, explaining the situation before revealing the blister had started developing on Friday. McIlroy admitted it was a sore spot, but he emphasized it was manageable. While the blister may seem inconsequential, it highlights the challenges players face when dealing with injuries while competing at a high level. McIlroy, who is currently the No. 2 favorite to win the Wanamaker Trophy, faces a tight race against defending champion Scottie Scheffler. Mark Harris reports further details about his recovery and preparations.
