Woods era not over yet: Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy (left) refused to pronounce an end to golf's Tiger Woods era on the eve of the 93rd PGA Championship, but the reigning US Open champion hopes to hasten a new age by winning more majors. "I'm playing very well," McIlroy said yesterday. "As long as I can hole a few putts this week, I feel as if I'm in with a good chance."

The 22-year-old Northern Irishman will be among the favorites at Atlanta Athletic Club when the year's last Major opens today with Woods, a 14-time major champion.

"I don't think it's quite a new era yet until other guys start to win majors regularly like he did," McIlroy said.

Tag drops Woods
Meanwhile, Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer ended its 10-year commercial relationship with Woods yesterday, and expressed hopes the former top-ranked golfer can "overcome his difficulties."
