Rory McIlroy must decide whether to connect with the ball or the TV audience first.

When the Masters rolls around, Rory McIlroy tries to cut out all interruptions because he is so focused on completing the career Grand Slam. This year, he has refrained from the par-three competition, political posturing over rebels backed by Saudi Arabia, and pointless schedule adjustments.
