SOUNDBITE: (English) Rory McIlroy:

"You know, it is important. Tiger Woods has been the face of our game for 15 or nearly 20 years I guess. So, to have him playing and to have him back is important and obviously to have him competing but it is a good opportunity as well for some of the other guys to stand up and be counted.

"It's special, it's the only one played outside of the States and it is played on Links and it is the oldest and probably...yeah, got the richest history of all of them. So it would be great to put the name in the Claret Jug one day and if I was to win my third Major here it would be the third leg of a career Grand Slam as well and not many golfers have done that either. So, yeah it would be special, it would be very important and hopefully by the time I hang up my boots I would love to be able to get my name on that trophy."
