Rory McIlroy reveals heart problem, says it’s not a big deal
“The rib’s fine, no problems whatsoever,” Rory McIlroy told James Corrigan of The Telegraph.
Great news for the Ulsterman’s fans on that front. However, the second part of the McIlroy quote is a health-related shock
“I’ve got a bit of an irregularity with my heart that I have to keep on top of.”
McIlroy continued that he has something called a “flat T-wave,” and indicated he’ll need an echocardiogram every six months and an MRI annually. He said there’s no immediate cause for concern.
“I suffered a really bad viral infection in China 18 months ago, and they told me that’s the reason that I have this thickening of my left ventricle and there’s a bit of scar tissue. For now, I just need to stay on top of it and have to stay fit. Hey, I was planning on doing that anyway.”
Following the expected swell of panic and concern from media outlets and golf fans, McIlroy indicated the heart issue is “not that big of a deal” in an Instagram post Friday.

Steroids doesn’t cause everything. Besides it doesn’t matter if he’s on steroids or not. That wouldn’t help him get the ball in the hole.
