VIDEO: Rory McIlroy shows off the workout he puts himself through to maintain his athleticism

Rory McIlroy is really setting the standard for athletic young golfers.

Gone are the days when athleticism mattered little on a golf course and Rory McIlroy proves that, to be successful nowadays, pros have to put the work in the gym to go along with the work on the greens. The current world number one is no slouch in the weight room and looks to be taking no shortcuts as he whips himself into shape for the Masters in two week's time. The Holywood man is under no illusions that he's not competing on the same level as a professional bodybuilder but maintains that he does the right amount of work to make sure that he can control a golf club throughout a swing and, as a golfer, that's pretty much all he cares about. https://youtu.be/RQmDISgjry8
